But what I meant was: the child will only show progress if stderr is a
tty, but here it is not.

For clone / fetch, we can pass --progress explicitly.

For some reason 'git checkout' doesn't support a --progress option.  I
suppose it should. ;-)

Yeah, that will work for those tools, but I thought you could pass
arbitrary shell commands.  It would be nice if git sub-commands run
through those just magically worked, even though we don't have an
opportunity to change their command-line parameters.
