Why? I was suggesting that you would literally write something like this in your script: git-whatchanged --name-status "$1".."$2" Then whatchanged uses the '--name-status', and ignores whatever is in the repository configuration, so you do not need to care what repo-config says. Neither used are its built-in defaults.
