Hi,

from your above message solely and setting aside your original patch, I presume that you want to introduce the ability to force progress reporting even if stderr isn't a terminal.

I am working a feature (display progress for http operations) that happens to add this ability to git-push and git-fetch, by specifying the --progress option.

Regarding git-pull - I guess it's only git-fetch (being transport-related) that reports progress?
