This command is being removed because git-log(1) supplanted it over 12
years ago. Both commands use the same machinery, just with different
defaults.

You can replace it with `git log`:

• 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 feeding the output to another program).
