They have _almost_ the same, but not _exactly_ the same output:

  INCREMENTAL OUTPUT
  ------------------

  [...]

  The output format is similar to the Porcelain format, but it
  does not contain the actual lines from the file that is being
  annotated.

  [...]

  . Unlike Porcelain format, the filename information is always
    given and terminates the entry:

        "filename" <whitespace-quoted-filename-goes-here>

     and thus it's really quite easy to parse for some line- and
     word-oriented parser (which should be quite natural for most
     scripting languages).

But I guess this got addresssed in the patch, doesn't it?
