The pack.useSparse setting also speeds up a section that is not marked
by progress: that portion usually is walking all UNINTERESTING trees and
the"Enumerating Objects" progress is just for walking the INTERESTING objects.

I like this idea for splitting the "normal" mechanism, too:
Enumerating Objects (X^1%) => Marking trees (Y^1%)
Enumerating Objects (X^2%) => Enumerating objects to pack (Y^2%)

The problem I've seen (without bitmaps) is that running `git push` can
take a while before _any_ progress is listed.
Good news is: `pack.useSparse` fixed our push problem in the Windows OS
repo. The end-to-end time for `git push` sped up by 7.7x with the change,
and this "blank" time is too fast for users to notice.
Updating the progress could help in cases without pack.useSparse.
