If you mean parsing "cat-file commit" output vs "rev-list --parents" output, the former shows the true parents while the latter shows a list of parents adjusted with information in the grafts file.

If you are using pathspec then the latter further simplifies the parent list, but you know that already and you are not using that form here.
