Something like

$ LESS="$LESS +/^commit " git whatchanged -p --reverse ORIG_HEAD..

will let you jump between the commits using 'n' for next, 'N' for previous.

Not 100% the same, i know, but much faster than your solution. (mostly because of pipelining; while you're reviewing one change the next commits are already being prepared. For deep, but filtered queries, i often do it more explicitly as "git..|bag|less +/^commit" to avoid the stalls.)
