Don't do that. I like it.
I think you need output like this not to prevent boredom but to reassure that
nothing has crashed or gone wild. A checkout of a big project really can
take time, so it's nice to have the feedback.
Incidentally, the other place that needs some sort of feedback is the
beginning of git-fetch/git-push. I think they are off listing remote
branches, but they don't output anything before they do it, so I have no idea
where the delay is (actually I know that the delay is from forming the ssh
connection - which seems to be unable to understand that I'm connecting over
a VPN and my IP has no reverse DNS so don't check for it - grr - but the
point is that nothing is (apparently) happening and I have no feedback to
know why).
I'll submit a patch...
Andy
