Thanks for letting us know.

Please note that "--i-still-use-this" is merely for you to buy some
time while you update your ware to rewrite your use of whatchanged
with something else (probably "git log --raw" with some other
options).  When you update to Git 3.0, whose release date is not yet
even known, whatchanged will no longer be available with or without
that option.

Unless we hear so many reports from those who needed to work around
with "--i-still-use-this" and realize that removal of that command
is unfeasible, that is.

Thanks again.
