This series makes git-clone follow the "argument convention" of
git-pack-objects, where the option --progress is used to force reporting
of reporting. This was previously done with -v/--verbose.

No objections from my side, although you might want to advertise more that
this is a change in behavior.  (Meaning in the release notes)

Indeed, -v/--verbose to force reporting of progress was done sometime
last year (Thu Oct 9 2008) so there may be scripts/applications
dependent on this option.

Junio, do you have any advice on this front?

PS. If someone can enlighten me on the proper noun for the git
    executable (I said "main git"), I would be very thankful.

I call it the "Git wrapper", although less polite words exist, too.

I see. Thanks!
