I thought I'd have a quick look at this before zzz but I'm not sure it
can be so simple so I'm looking for further testing.

I've been playing with this in src.git for a bit and it appears to work
as you'd expect: you can open other views, navigate the log, and even
quit tog while all ~221k commits are loading. Once they're all loaded,
if you {are in,return to} the log view, the last commit is selected.

This was a great suggestion btw, it's a huge boon for large repos!
