Hi,

Should we remove it?
I use it all the time. Is there some log option to get exactly the
same output? It doesn't appear that there is. The closest looks
like
"log --name-status" but it omits the modes and hash values.
Is it not identical to "log --raw --no-merges"?
A quick test says "mostly", but whatchanged doesn't show empty commits
whereas log does seem to; e.g. in git.git:
diff -u <(git whatchanged) <(git log --raw --no-merges)
That's probably close enough, but if that's all "whatchanged" does is
basically be an alias for "log --raw --no-merges" that skips commits
with no changes then the help for whatchanged ought to mention that.
I still think "git whatchanged" is a lot clearer than "git log --raw --
no-merges" though.
