Re: Jenkins still uses 'git whatchanged'

Mark Waite [off-list ref] writes:

Git 2.51.0 has deprecated the 'whatchanged' command.  The git client
plugin for Jenkins still uses the "git whatchanged" command to generate
its changelog.

I hope to release a replacement soon, but am only starting the
implementation now.

Message sent as requested by git 2.51.0

'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 [off-list ref].  Thanks.
fatal: refusing to run without --i-still-use-this

Thanks for letting us know.

Please note that "--i-still-use-this" is merely for you to buy some
time while you update your ware to rewrite your use of whatchanged
with something else (probably "git log --raw" with some other
options).  When you update to Git 3.0, whose release date is not yet
even known, whatchanged will no longer be available with or without
that option.

Unless we hear so many reports from those who needed to work around
with "--i-still-use-this" and realize that removal of that command
is unfeasible, that is.

Thanks again.
