It might be useful but everything it can do, git-log(1) can also do.
You can replace it with `git log` like so:
• Given: `git whatchanged <opts>`
• Replace with: `git log <opts> --no-merges --raw`
Or you can replace `--raw` with more modern alternatives like
`--name-only` or `--stat`.

No, we will remove it. What we wanted to hear readers ask was "what
can I use instead?" And the answer is "git log --raw" or even
better "git log --stat", "git log --name-only", etc., depending on
your taste, all of them shorter to type than "git whatchanged".
