Re: Remove old forgotten command: whatchanged

The "tutorial" was written in fairly early days of Git's history, in
order to primarily help those who want to use the plumbing command
to script their own Porcelain commands.  As it says at the very
beginning, the end-user tutorial to use Git's Porcelain is
gittutorial.txt and the user manual, not this document.

Yes, and even if it's old, it is a really well done tutorial to understand the
internals of git. I read it after gittutorial and gittutorial-2. It's just
that I was surprised to learn about this command, "much more powerful" than
git-log. To me it looked a lot like git log --raw, and I found git log -p
more useful, so I was wondering what I was missing until I read the source
to see that nowadays the two commands were mostly the same.

The above section primarily explains the use of diff-tree and it was
appropriate back when git-whatchanged was a script.  The intent of
the whole document, not just this section, was to tickle the
curiousity of the users and encourage them to see how the above
"much more powerful" whatchanged was implemented by going to the
source.

Well in this case you can say that the intent was successful since it made
me read the source code ;)
