You can replace it with `git log` in this way:

• 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).
