Re: git-whatchanged does not show merge result?

You probably mean "git-whatchanged -p -m".

I've seen this question asked at least twice in the past.

    SYNOPSIS
    --------
    'git-whatchanged' <option>...

    DESCRIPTION
    -----------
    Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces.  The
    command internally invokes 'git-rev-list' piped to
    'git-diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of
    these commands.

    This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.

Perhaps the frequently used options should include '-m' as well.
This part is from git-diff-tree.txt:

    -m::
            By default, "git-diff-tree --stdin" does not show
            differences for merge commits.  With this flag, it shows
            differences to that commit from all of its parents.

Sorry, I'm still reading the man pages on
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/.
Thanks for pointing that out.
