This command is being removed because it was supplanted by git-log(1) a
long while ago. Both commands use the same machinery, just with
different defaults.
You can replace it with `git log` in this way:
• Given: `git whatchanged <opts>`
• Replace with: `git log <opts> --no-merges --raw`
Additionally for the sake of readability, you might have more
use for `--stat` or `--name-only` rather than `--raw` if you are only
reading the output (not feding the output to another program).
