What the error message you got doesn’t say is that you can use
git-log(1) instead. It supports everything that git-whatchanged(1)
supports.
• 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.
