How far are the two positions? What's between them?

I'm beginning to suspect it does. IIRC RCS (and CVS) put a bunch of
file-level metadata before the actual log, whereas other VCSes just put
the log right away. So for RCS/CVS it might make sense to skip to the
first actual log message, so as to reproduce the behavior of
other backends.
Skipping to the log message corresponding to "the current revision"
seems much less important (and this is the part that was problematic
with the old behavior).
