Then perhaps you would like "git log --stat" even better?  Instead
of meaningless pair of hexadecimal object names, you'd get a sense
of the size of damage each commit causes to the codebase.

The command is going away.  You could

  $ git config alias.whatchanged "log --raw --no-merges"

if you really prefer the ugly hexadecimal gibberish, though.
