For scripted use you can give command line arguments yourself to
whatchanged and you can bypass the repoconfig.  I do not think
whatchanged is meant for scripted use, though --- it is such a
simple script, and if you want to build on it to do something
more elaborate, I think you would be better off writing those
rev-list and diff-tree in your script.
