Subject: [PATCH 0/4] you-still-use-that??: improve breaking changes troubleshooting
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2025 18:29:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1756311355.git.code@khaugsbakk.name> (raw)

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

Based on the recent i-still-use-that reports about whatchanged, improve
the error reporting with this command in mind:

1. Give more possible actions instead of just (only) asking them to send
   an email
2. Hint how to replace their git-whatchanged(1) use with git-log(1)
3. Minor documentation changes

I don’t know how much does matters now that 2.51.0 is out.  I guess it
depends on when the next maintenance release is and how many platforms
will upgrade it?  I don’t know anything about that.  (But maybe they
will do it straight away since they are releasing for the latest
version?)

Kristoffer Haugsbakk (4):
  usage: help the user help themselves
  whatchanged: tell users the git-log(1) equivalent
  whatchanged: remove not-even-shorter clause
  BreakingChanges: remove claim about whatchanged reports
