[PATCH] connect: display connection progress

From: Michael S. Tsirkin <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:43:08
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Make git notify the user about host resolution/connection attempts.  This
is useful both as a progress indicator on slow links, and helps reassure the
user there are no DNS/firewall problems.

I find the following useful.
This currently only covers native git protocol. I expect it would
be easy to extend this to other protocols, if there's interest.
Opinions?
