Junio C HamanoOne of my post-update scripts runs a git-fetch into a separate repository and sends the results back to me (2>&1); I end up getting this in the mail:
Generating pack...
Done counting 180 objects.
Result has 131 objects.
Deltifying 131 objects.
0% (0/131) done^M 1% (2/131) done^M...This defaults not to do the progress report when not on a tty.
You could give --progress to force the progress report, but let's not bother even documenting it nor mentioning it in the usage string.
