I would perceive the feature as a nice, versatile trick instead of weird… Current git clone progress is quite unexpected – when I was starting to use Git I've had a sensation of disappointment each time I've run clone – was expecting some nice progress bar and was served with bunch of text lines with numbers that weren't any percentages… I'm not saying that the progress in the asciinema is some uber cool solution, but then, it may serve as an example to draw attention to beautifying the progress and the freedom of hooking any command via a core.progress_pipe might result in some other nice scripts/apps to bloom out there.
