The problem is that this is a project developed for a single company in
switzerland which uses it to manage elevators. We are right before to release
it and switch the customer away from MS Access to our program. It is currently
not clear, which license applies after the customer uses it, because he is interested
that some people should not use the software.

As soon as this is clearified the software may even become GPLed, but currently
I may not publish it public.

If I do it as you described, I get the usage of git-rev-list:

[11:01] srsyg01:walderlift% git-whatchanged 4cc7ff0cb20df228e4db467114c1c67b0933592a..cfd54ffd2aa8e44ff5c341030e9c5f22fbbc7f9f Code/Spikes/        
usage: git-rev-list [OPTION] <commit-id>... [ -- paths... ]

I junh did git-whatchanged and stripped it manually. I included the initial
commit until the commit when it is gone. See attached file.

I think this could be done.
