Howdy Git/Kernel team!


Recently, as of `git version 2.51.0`, running the following commands be 
popping
warnings;

     git whatchanged <path>

     git log --since="$(date --date='-2 weeks' +%F)"

...  Warnings stating those using certain features slated for removal should
email y'all about `--i-still-use-this`. If there are alternatives I can 
alias,
that will remain functional, please do let those like me know. Maybe via the
same sorta warning system.


Wishing ya a magnificent Monday!

You can use

    git log --raw --no-merges

If you want the same behavior.

You can also replace `--raw` with `--stat` or `--name-only` if you want
the list of files without the filemode, hashes, and change type (like
M).

Wow, thanks for the rapid repose Kristoffer!



I'll alias `--raw` until my muscle memory for `git wh<tab>` catches up x-)

If I am not miss remembering plans to remove `--since` then is there a new
equivalent for filtering logs over time?

I don't believe "--since" is deprecated: I can find no mention of such
a thing in Documentation/RelNotes.

Thanks for checking Ben!

Oof, I cannot reproduce warnings with `--since` so I be totally mistaken.

Again thanks to y'all for time and help...  and Git in general (-!
