Actually, it does. You just have to ask it.
	git-whatchanged --cc

The thing is, "git-whatchanged" is different from "git diff" and other helpers, in that it by default shows the "raw" git representation. Which indeed doesn't show that merge as being anything interesting.

But with "--cc", the merge suddenly blossoms.

Now, arguably, the raw format should default to the same kind of "were there data conflicts" that "-c" does for merges, but it doesn't, so it's silent ;(
