To whom it may concern,
I am reaching out as I am still using the whatchanged option in git, which is very useful for my coding and handling merges. Please keep this option and do not break userspace.
Thank you kind regards

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.
You can replace the command with `git log` thus:
• 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).
