Hello!
I recently got this output from git:

I am letting you know, that I still use this command :)
Have a great day

This command is being removed because it was supplanted by git-log(1) a long while ago. Both commands use the same machinery, just with different defaults.
You can replace it with `git log` in this way:
• 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).
