Yeah, that is a wrong interpretation we did not want to trigger.

"If you are a developer of a script that uses whatchanged, then rewrite it with 'log --raw --no-merges' and be happy. If the script is very widely used, dropping us a note would be nice, as we can redirect end-user inquiries of your script towards you. If you are an end-user of such a script, bug your supplier of such a script. Thanks."

perhaps?
