The only difference that I see is the formatting. ("..." is merely an
abbreviation for a leading path.)
a) probes your terminal for the number of columns and uses all available
space.
b) goes to a file and has no connected terminal, thus uses a default
column number. You can change that number using
COLUMNS=YourNumber git log YourArgs > YourFile
