[PATCH 1/2] commit-graph: don't show progress percentages while expanding reachable commits
From: SZEDER Gábor <szeder.dev@gmail.com>
Commit 49bbc57a57 (commit-graph write: emit a percentage for all progress, 2019-01-19) was a bit overeager when it added progress percentages to the "Expanding reachable commits in commit graph" phase as well, because most of the time the number of commits that phase has to iterate over is not known in advance and grows significantly, and, consequently, we end up with nonsensical numbers:
$ git commit-graph write --reachable
Expanding reachable commits in commit graph: 138606% (824706/595), done.
[...]
$ git rev-parse v5.0 | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
Expanding reachable commits in commit graph: 81264400% (812644/1), done.
[...]
Even worse, because the percentage grows so quickly, the progress code outputs much more often than it should (because it ticks every second, or every 1%), slowing the whole process down. My time for "git commit-graph write --reachable" on linux.git went from 13.463s to 12.521s with this patch, ~7% savings.
Therefore, don't show progress percentages in the "Expanding reachable commits in commit graph" phase.
Note that the current code does sometimes do the right thing, if we picked up all commits initially (e.g., omitting "--reachable" in a fully-packed repository would get the correct count without any parent traversal). So it may be possible to come up with a way to tell when we could use a percentage here. But in the meantime, let's make sure we robustly avoid printing nonsense.

I rebased it to handle code movement, added in the timing data, and tried to summarize the discussion from the thread.
