Re: [PATCH] git-update-index: report(...) now flushes stdout after printing the report line

Hi,

(you dropped the Cc list; fixed that for you.)

Adding a commandline option to git-push and git-pull that enforces progress
messages to be printed to stderr would be a feasible and simple fix that would
clearly improve the usability of tortoise-git and git-python to name only two.

That said, I hope I managed to make myself clear enough this time to help the
people in charge to figure out how to solve the issue. Once the desired solution
has been sketched out and the desired new commandline options have been named,
it could even be me to implement it if necessary, as I'd consider it a gentle
start into the world of the git codebase.

from your above message solely and setting aside your original patch,
I presume that you want to introduce the ability to force progress
reporting even if stderr isn't a terminal.

I am working a feature (display progress for http operations) that
happens to add this ability to git-push and git-fetch, by specifying
the --progress option.

Regarding git-pull - I guess it's only git-fetch (being
transport-related) that reports progress?
