None from me. But some hints for a patch:
- As the man page says,
--progress
Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless -q is
specified. This flag forces progress status even if the
standard error stream is not directed to a terminal.
It looks like this facility is not working.
- Terminals are distinguished from nonterminals with isatty()
- The "Counting objects..." output comes from pack-objects.
Running with GIT_TRACE=1 reveals that the --progress option is
not being passed to pack-objects as it should be.
- Is this a regression? If so, narrowing the regression window
with a few rounds of "git bisect" could be helpful.
Thanks for the report.
