git whatchanged deprecation

From: Daniel Hammer <hidden>

Hi git devs,

Regarding:
$ git whatchanged
'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
I still use this, usually multiple times a day.


The flag approach seems unnecessarily heavy handed, when amending the
documentation would have sufficed.

As far as I can tell from the documentation, this is just shorthand
for a(nother) counter-intuitive git command.

Hope this DevEx regression is reversed ASAP.

Thanks in advance,

DH
