Those two lines are actually my beef with the fetch output. As a newbie,
I had no idea what "Indexing objects" actually meant. We have this thing
called "the index" in git so I would expect "Indexing objects" to have
something to do with that, but it doesn't seem to.
How about something more descriptive of the high-level operation that's
going on, along the lines of:
Gathering changes from remote: 100% (1061/1061), done.
Applying changes locally: 100% (638/638), done.
