Too little, actually.

Your change makes

	git clone ssh://...

be silent again, until the download actually starts. The "isatty(2)" thing 
in git-pack-objects won't trigger, because it's actually a socket, not a 
tty ;/

ssh will only set up a pty pair if it starts an interactive shell, not if 
you use the "ssh host cmd" form.
