The patch for (1) would look something like what's below. It's simpler,

--all-progress to turn on progress unconditionally would need to now
also use --progress. However, turning on progress unconditionally is
usually an error (the except is if you are piping output in real-time to
the user and need to overcome the isatty check).
I'm actually doing exactly that in the mirrorproj.cgi of Girocco, so I
would be unhappy if I would have to go through creating ptys or whatever
now. Maybe conditioning this by an environment variable?
