This command is being removed because git-log(1) supplanted it over 12 years ago. Both commands use the same machinery, just with different defaults.

Here’s how you can replace your git-whatcanged(1) use with `git log`:

• Given: `git whatchanged <opts>` • Replace with: `git log <opts> --no-merges --raw`

Additionally for the sake of readability, you might have more use for `--stat` or `--name-only` rather than `--raw` if you are only reading the output (not feeding the output to another program).
