Thanks.  As your friendly git binary should have (but did not)
suggested, please switch to a more modern variants like "git log
--raw" (or --stat that may give even more useful information).

I still use `git whatchanged`

[Benjamin Root]

I was directed by my git client (v2.51.0 installed via homebrew) to
send this email if I still use `git whatchanged`. I think it is a
great verb and I can never remember the different log output options
to get me what I want with `git log`.

Git 2.51.1 lets you set up an alias with the same name.

There is one regression with that release
that will be fixed in 2.51.2.
