Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that I still actively use the |git 
whatchanged| command, so I’d appreciate if it remains available.

Thank you for maintaining Git!

Best regards,

Mira Skwar

You can replace it with `git log`:

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

... with some minor output caveats about empty commits (commits with
no changes).[1]
