bug#15322: VC log buffer scrolls itself

[Paul Pogonyshev]

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.

FWIW, I agree with Paul that scrolling is just a bad idea here.
It's good to do it when we specifically requested to see the log comment
of a particular revision (e.g. we already have a log displayed and from
vc-annotate we ask for the comment of some revision), but otherwise it's
just a waste of effort that ends up annoying more often than not.
