The git whatchanged command is deprecated in git 2.51.0; recent git documentation suggests using git log --raw --no-merges instead.

I brought this up on IRC; rough consensus among advocates on IRC was that we should no longer require this for changes via Gerrit; additionally, several advocates suggested that git log --stat output was more useful than --raw.

…ecated.

Also clarify that the changeset description is only needed if the
patch isn't in Gerrit.

I actually meant on the PR summary not on the the commit but thanks for the commit message update. (I always get thrown off seeing the PR's title not match.
