A nicer approach would to add a `forward' key binding when browsing vc-log output, so by default you get N entries, if you hit M-v when being at the last page, you get N additional entries. And then specify the default number of lines using a global variable. C-s could also be extended in a similar way so that you can do searches beyond the inital number of lines shown by hitting C-s repeatedly.
