I use the following functions for ediff mode.  I have added them to
the hooks that start and finish ediff mode.  It looks like there are
some hooks for log-edit-mode start and finish as well, but I don't use
VC so I'm not 100% sure.

(defun push-window-config ()
  "Save the current window layout"
  (interactive)
  (unless (boundp 'window-config-stack)
    (setq window-config-stack '()))
  (push (current-window-configuration) window-config-stack))
(defun pop-window-config ()
  "Restore the most recently saved window layout"
  (interactive)
  (if (boundp 'window-config-stack)
      (unless (eq window-config-stack '())
        (set-window-configuration (pop window-config-stack)))))
