Re: Bug: version 2.4 seems to have broken `git clone --progress`

"Jack O'Connor" [off-list ref] writes:

In git 2.3.7 I could run the following command and see progress in the
terminal, despite the redirection of stdout and stderr:

    git clone https://github.com/oconnor663/dotfiles --progress 2>&1 | cat

As of 2.4, that command no longer shows progress. When I bisect, the
responsible commit is 2879bc3b0c3acc89f0415ac0d0e3946599d9fc88
("transport-helper: ask the helper to set progress and verbosity
options after asking for its capabilities"). Can anyone suggest a
workaround?

That commit is by Mike Hommey [off-list ref] so I'd imagine that
CC'ing the author of the patch would be the first thing to do ;-)

I am kind of surprised that the commit changes behaviour, though.
If I didn't hear that you had trouble in 2.4, I would have suspected
85cb8906 (progress: no progress in background, 2015-04-13) instead.
