I can't see any effective difference aside from the extra complications of effectively returning two values in your first example. I'd tend to avoid that kind of redundancy in case my fumble fingers ever cause one to contradict the other.

GIT-WHATCHANGED(1)                                                  Git Manual                                                  GIT-WHATCHANGED(1)

NAME
git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces SYNOPSIS
git whatchanged <option>... DESCRIPTION
Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. New users are encouraged to use git-log(1) instead. The whatchanged command is essentially the same as git-log(1) but defaults to show the raw format diff output and to skip merges. The command is kept primarily for historical reasons; fingers of many people who learned Git long before git log was invented by reading Linux kernel mailing list are trained to type it. EXAMPLES
git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi Show as patches the commits since version v2.6.12 that changed any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file gitk. The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the branch named gitk GIT
Part of the git(1) suite Git 2.17.1 10/05/2018 GIT-WHATCHANGED(1)
