In case of an asynchronous command like vc-log and vc-diff
postponing display-buffer might be undesirable because
their output might be useful to see while still incomplete.

OTOH, the current situation is not perfect either:
when an asynchronous command finishes, it unexpectedly
forces the window resizing.
