I never used 'git submodule clone' but with 'git clone' these lines seem to overwrite one after another and they never bothered me. Could your terminal emulator be broken?

No, git clone has the same problem when run under Capistrano, but it
obeys --quiet.

That said, I always assumed that, say, 'ssh -t myhost git clone foo'
would have the same problem (ie printing each progress update on a new
line), but I see it works correctly.  Looks like Capistrano is eating
the \r somewhere.  I still think my patch is valid, but I'll
investigate into Capistrano some more & see if I can fix it there.
