After 5a518ad (clone: use --progress to force progress reporting), -v/--verbose did not affect whether progress status was reported to stderr, and users accustomed to using -v to do so since 21188b1 (Implement git clone -v) may be confused.

Mitigate such risks by stating -v does not affect progress in the documentation.

New in v2.

This should have been done with 5a518ad (clone: use --progress to force progress reporting), as per Miklos's suggestion (<20091227012032.GE25474@genesis.frugalware.org>).
