Git doesn’t have built-in aliases, if you mean Git aliases more
literally. If not then it already acts as a sort of alias, I guess.

This command is being removed because git-log(1) supplanted it over 12
years ago. Both commands use the same machinery, just with different
defaults.
Here’s how to replace it with git-log(1):
• 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).

This is coming in the next versions.
