The 20`whatchanged` command is essentially the same as linkgit:git-log[1] 21but defaults to show the raw format diff output and to skip merges. 22 23The command is kept primarily for historical reasons; fingers of 24many people who learned Git long before `git log` was invented by 25reading Linux kernel mailing list are trained to type it. 26 27 28Examples 29-------- 30`git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi`:: 31 32 Show as patches the commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed 33 any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories 34 35`git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk`:: 36 37 Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'. 38 The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named 39 'gitk' 40 41GIT 42--- 43Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
