Hm. The only place where I've seen this particular progress meter is
after a clone. Which is quite noisy anyway.

Here on my windows box, this progress meter *is* entertaining. My
project has ~2400 files, and it takes its time. If you really want to
get rid of it, then please leave the message "Checking out files...",
which together with a thrashing disk should give "progress" enough for
people who do their first clone.
