FYI,

I had to revert commit 6b8a2b8fcd99 because it broke tog search.
It's quite likely that this could be fixed differently?

 revert 6b8a2b8fcd99c4365b1aa9513c0f0149beac2491; it broke 'n' (search next)
 
 In the log view, 'n' sometimes failed to search for the next matching commit
 and tog dead-locked. So a yield or mutex unlock/lock is required for search
 to work. Perhaps we need a different fix?
