That looks like an ugly hack (aka sweeping the issue under the rug).

And it is a race condition. By the time git log has got --all list of references
it may look completely different to what gitk has.

Yes, exactly.  Until git log understands --stdin, I think the only
real solution is to disable the view update optimization on windows.
