charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk 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 Documentation/BreakingChanges.adoc | 2 +- Documentation/git-whatchanged.adoc | 8 ++++++-- builtin/log.c | 8 ++++++-- builtin/pack-redundant.c | 2 +- git-compat-util.h | 2 +- usage.c | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++------- 6 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) base-commit: c44beea485f0f2feaf460e2ac87fdd5608d63cf0 -- 2.51.0.11.g23cedd8a747
