From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>
Based on the recent i-still-use-that reports about whatchanged, improve the error reporting with this command in mind:
1. Give more possible actions instead of just (only) asking them to send an email 2. Hint how to replace their git-whatchanged(1) use with git-log(1) 3. Minor documentation changes
I don’t know how much does matters now that 2.51.0 is out. I guess it depends on when the next maintenance release is and how many platforms will upgrade it? I don’t know anything about that. (But maybe they will do it straight away since they are releasing for the latest version?)
Kristoffer Haugsbakk (4): usage: help the user help themselves whatchanged: tell users the git-log(1) equivalent whatchanged: remove not-even-shorter clause BreakingChanges: remove claim about whatchanged reports
