Probably progress.h ought to have something for whether progress bars make sense, that uses isatty(1) with an environment variable override. Conceptually, transport.c should be figuring out whether the verbosity of the operation suggests progress bars, and should pass off to something else the determination of whether we can actually output progress bars in particular.
