Emacs interface no longer displays backend output as it comes in #7

The emacs interface creates and populates a commit-patch buffer. This is meant to stay in the background unless something goes wrong. Due to a bug in Emacs (http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17815) this buffer was getting displayed if using commit-patch with TRAMP, even when no error has occured.

This patch asks emacs to not update this buffer with the data as it comes in. This is fine here, and fixes the issue.

I see. Yeah, the 'display param is really an artifact of the time when we would display the process buffer all the time (back before we trusted commit-patch). Now that we hide it, you're right, it's rather pointless.

Thanks Dima!
