i recently got this message in my friendly git client:

$ git wcp data/aws/insights-prod/account.yml 'git whatchanged' is nominated for removal. If you still use this command, please add an extra option, '--i-still-use-this', on the command line and let us know you still use it by sending an e-mail to <git@vger.kernel.org>.  Thanks. fatal: refusing to run without --i-still-use-this

This is just me raising my hand as I still use this feature :)
