The <code>whatchanged</code> command is essentially the same as <a href="git-log">git-log[1]</a> but defaults to showing the raw format diff output and skipping merges.</p>   <p>The command is primarily kept for historical reasons; fingers of many people who learned Git long before <code>git log</code> was invented by reading the Linux kernel mailing list are trained to type it.</p>  </div>   <h2 id="_examples">Examples</h2> <div class="sectionbody"> <div class="dlist"> <dl> <dt class="hdlist1" id="Documentation/git-whatchanged.txt-codegitwhatchanged-pv2612includescsidriversscsicode"> <code>git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi</code> </dt> <dd> <p>Show as patches the commits since version <code>v2.6.12</code> that changed any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories</p> </dd> <dt class="hdlist1" id="Documentation/git-whatchanged.txt-codegitwhatchanged--since2weeksago--gitkcode"> <code>git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk</code> </dt> <dd> <p>Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file <code>gitk</code>.
