I'd like to add that since version 1.6.5, non-tty's do not receive any progress
information anymore. The patch causing this says it wants to, in short words,
unify the push and fetch handling regarding the way progress messages are sent.

Now third-party wrappers, such as git-python, are unable to provide any progress
information anymore for possibly lengthy operations.

This is why I clearly recommend to add some kind of a "progress-force" flag that
turns progress messages on again for send-pack and receive-pack.
