Thanks for letting us know. If you still use it, you can retrain your fingers to use "git log" with some options instead. The most literal translation would be "git log --raw --no-merges", but there are MUCH BETTER options invented since "whatchanged" was written. If the reason you are interested in is to learn the names of the files, then "git log --names-only" gives a lot cleaner output without hexadecimal gibberish that has not much use for human readers, for examplle.
