Hi, I am still using this very convenient command.
Best regards, Jiri Basek

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 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).
