Piotr anticipated this. The same patch added a 'bottom' choice to the
'VCSCommandSplit' option. If you add:

let VCSCommandSplit='bottom'

... to your vimrc, the new window will always appear at the bottom,
spanning all other windows. I'd like to figure out a more intelligent
option when interacting with NERDTree, but I'd imagine this option
will work for many.

Thank you,
