I use 'git-restore-mtime' from git-tools[1].  The latest release of
git broke this.

What happened to politely deprecating things before breaking them?

It wasn’t deprecated but its use was discouraged starting from
52f425e1a9a (whatchanged: document its historical nature, 2013-08-09).

Perhaps the wording was not explicit enough before the recent
update, but I thought it has been in the deprecated state for a long
time, at least since Aug 2013.
