Google for "xfs dirty log" and I get this as the second hit:

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/xfsrepair.html

What it says is the exact opposite of what you said above:

- the dirty log is automatically dealt with when you mount the filesystem
- xfs_repair will refuse to run if a dirty log is present

So running xfs_repair on boot is actually a bad idea.
