Yes, that's what the asciinema does  – it pipes git clone --progress
to a script, and that's pretty much it. That's why I thought about a
core.pipe option, that would hold the my-progress-scrapper command.
That's a very easy change, could it be added to git source code? The
scrapper from the asciinema doesn't care if it's count, retrieve or
resolve, etc. currently ongoing, it simply displays a gauge with the
current percentage for the current stage. After a while one discovers
that it's resolve that's the final stage, and the gauge is intuitive
either before or after this revelation.
