Junio C Hamano 07572f220a whatchanged: remove when built with WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES
As we made "git whatchanged" require "--i-still-use-this" and asked
the users to report if they still want to use it, the logical next
step is to allow us build Git without "whatchanged" to prepare for
its eventual removal.

If we were to follow the pattern established in 8ccc75c2 (remote:
announce removal of "branches/" and "remotes/", 2025-01-22), we can
do this together with the documentation update to officially list
that the command will be removed in the BreakingChanges document,
but let's just keep the changes separate just in case we want to
proceed a bit slower.

log.abbrevCommit::
If true, makes
ifndef::with-breaking-changes[]
linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1]
endif::with-breaking-changes[]
ifdef::with-breaking-changes[]
linkgit:git-log[1] and linkgit:git-show[1]
endif::with-breaking-changes[]
assume `--abbrev-commit`. You may
override this option with `--no-abbrev-commit`.
log.date::
Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s
`--date` option. See linkgit:git-log[1] for details.
+
If the format is set to "auto:foo" and the pager is in use, format
"foo" will be used for the date format. Otherwise, "default" will
be used.
log.decorate::
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/',
'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is
specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
If 'auto' is specified, then if the output is going to a terminal,
the ref names are shown as if 'short' were given, otherwise no ref
names are shown. This is the same as the `--decorate` option
of the `git log`.
log.initialDecorationSet::
By default, `git log` only shows decorations for certain known ref
namespaces. If 'all' is specified, then show all refs as
decorations.
log.excludeDecoration::
Exclude the specified patterns from the log decorations. This is
similar to the `--decorate-refs-exclude` command-line option, but
the config option can be overridden by the `--decorate-refs`
option.
log.diffMerges::
Set diff format to be used when `--diff-merges=on` is
specified, see `--diff-merges` in linkgit:git-log[1] for
details. Defaults to `separate`.
log.follow::
If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
a single <path> is given. This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
on non-linear history.
log.graphColors::
A list of colors, separated by commas, that can be used to draw
history lines in `git log --graph`.
log.showRoot::
If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
log.showSignature::
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--show-signature`.
log.mailmap::
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`, otherwise
assume `--no-use-mailmap`. True by default.
