Bumping this bug.

It is very annoying, because our repository grew quite large, so almost all
logs take at least 5-10 seconds to be generated fully and Emacs snatches
point from me when the log generation is complete. Even if it scrolls back
to the top it is still disruptive as I may be reading second page of
history already.
