I think this is a good idea :D
This is what Tortoise-Hg does by default for Mercurial clones, and it
seems to help a lot with clones that have many thousand changes. By
limiting the changes to a shorter, one line per changeset output, it is
easy to see how displaying everything by default may slow things down.
I have a Mercurial clone converted from the current Git repository on my
laptop. Showing around 300 changes completes in less than a second, but
anything over 30000 changes is noticeably slow:

I think that we can display the last 300-500 commits reasonably fast,
and add a few button at the start and end of the log-view buffer. Maybe
something like this would do?
