Any change in how git produces the progress bar should still keep it in a form that git-gui can regex match and scrape, preferably without needing to know what version of git it is pulling that output from. For example just teach git-gui to try two different regexps, new format and if that doesn't match then try the old (aka current) format. -- Shawn.
