If you are thinking of

  [alias]
    whatchanged =3D log --raw --full-history

it does not quite work. git-log unconditionally sets --always, and ther=
e
is no command line option to turn it off. In most cases you could get a=
n
approximation by using --no-merges, but it would still show commits tha=
t
actually have no tree change (there are 2 in git.git).
