Thanks, this is a good place to put a progress meter, too. If you're
feeling like pushing this topic further, "git prune" might be a good
place for a progress meter, too. It does a similar traversal[1] for
reachability, and makes "git gc" appear to hang at the end (we have nice
progress meters for packing, but it takes something like 25 seconds to
run "git prune" at the end, during which we are silent).

[1] I wonder why fsck doesn't use mark_reachable from reachable.c.
Thanks. I'll have a look.
