Just a few thoughts:
* git whatchanged is kept only for "historical" reasons. From man: "New
users are encouraged to use git-log instead. The whatchanged command is
essentially the same as git-log but defaults to show the raw format diff output
and to skip merges. The command is kept primarily for historical reasons..."
* am using git 2.25.1 on my linux box and my output is like the first "used
to be" output (but adds HEAD pointers like second one). Am unsure what may
drive the output, it may be my env, but am unsure you can do it in "generic"
way.
* why not switch to git-log instead?
My example output:
```
