Hmm. OK, I think I see what is going on. For most protocols, send_pack
happens without a separate process these days. So the stack is like:

  - transport_push
    - git_transport_push
      - send_pack

where the "progress" flag to send_pack is a boolean; we have already
figured out at the transport layer whether we want progress, and are
telling it what to do. Thus this hunk from 01fdc21 makes sense:

If we have been asked not to have progress, then we tell pack-objects
"-q" (which is, for historical reasons, the way to spell "--no-progress"
for pack-objects).

But send-pack is also a command in its own right, and gets invoked
separately for the --stateless-rpc case (i.e., smart http). In that case
you end up with:

  - transport_push
    - transport-helper.c:push_refs
      - [pipes to git-remote-https]
        - remote-curl.c:push_git
          - [forks send-pack]
            - cmd_send_pack
              - send_pack

In this case, send pack gets its arguments from the command-line, not
from the options set at the transport layer. Remote-curl will pass along
"--quiet" if we get that from the transport layer, but it does not
otherwise pass along the "progress" flag. So there are two problems:

  1. send-pack defaults its progress boolean to 0. Before 01fdc21, that
     was OK, because it meant "don't explicitly ask for progress". But
     after 01fdc21 that now means "explicitly ask for no progress", and
     the direct-transport code paths were updated without updating
     cmd_send_pack.

  2. There's no way to tell send-pack explicitly "yes, I would like
     progress, no matter what isatty(2) says". I doubt anybody cares
     much, but it probably makes sense to handle that for the sake of
     completeness.
