[Feature Request] Download transfer rate display

Hello,

Under normal conditions the progress reported via git is really good. As
single commits are normally very small downloading them is very fast.

However, our web repository has a few commits which are quite large
(around 35Mb each). This is where we have committed large binary files
to the repository (I know git wasn't designed for this).

When cloning this repository even on a reasonably fast link git appears
to have "gotten stuck".

It would be nice if when downloading git could report the download
progress (a kb/sec would be really cool). I can understand this probably
isn't a high priority as most of you wouldn't have this situation, I
just thought I would throw it out there. (I may even have a crack when I
am a bit less busy.)

Thanks for making such a cool RCS.

Yes, actually I had that in mind when I did the progress reporting 
cleanup.  Will do that next time I'm bored.
