What's the slowdown anyway? The underlying git command, invoked via
`shell-command' (with output inserted into an emacs buffer) is almost
instantaneous.
Is it because it's trying to fontify and add text-props or overlays to
the entire buffer?
If that's the problem, it would obviously be _much_ more efficient to
use jit-lock or whatever, since people typically only look at like the
first 1% of such log output (if that!)...
