Why?

I was suggesting that you would literally write something like
this in your script:

	git-whatchanged --name-status "$1".."$2"

Then whatchanged uses the '--name-status', and ignores whatever
is in the repository configuration, so you do not need to care
what repo-config says.  Neither used are its built-in defaults.
