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.
