That's a known issue - the focus is 'restored' to the log dialog about
two seconds *after* TortoiseMerge (or the configured diff tool) starts.
This is a 'feature' of the progress dialog showing the download of the
two files to diff.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to prevent this or even found out
why the progress dialog behaves this way. If you have any ideas, please
tell them!
