i recently got this message in my friendly git client:
$ git wcp data/aws/insights-prod/account.yml
'git whatchanged' is nominated for removal.
If you still use this command, please add an extra
option, '--i-still-use-this', on the command line
and let us know you still use it by sending an e-mail
to <git@vger•kernel.org>. Thanks.
fatal: refusing to run without --i-still-use-this
This is just me raising my hand as I still use this feature :)

This command is being removed because it was supplanted by git-log(1) a
long while ago. Both commands use the same machinery, just with
different defaults.
You can replce it with `git log`:
• Given: `git whatchanged <opts>`
• Replace with: `git log <opts> --no-merges --raw`
Additionally for the sake of readability, you might have more
use for `--stat` or `--name-only` rather than `--raw` if you are only
reading the output (not feeding the output to another program).
