I still use "git whatchanged".

This is regarding the removal nomination message in git 2.51.0.

Thanks, Monte

You can replace it with `git log`:

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

... with some caveats about timestamps? [1]

Not timestamps but about elimination of single-parent empty commits, I think?
