--progress-lf: print progress information using LFs instead of CRs

I notice this is part of your patch 1, but it really seems orthogonal to
checkout's --progress option. It should probably be a separate patch,
and it probably needs some justification in the commit message (i.e.,
explain not just _what_ you are doing in the patch, but _why_ it is
useful).

Yes, and as I doubted its validity, I would really have preferred to
see it done as a later step.  The "we want to say --[no-]progress"
one on the other hand looked a very sensible change, and it was sad
to see it taken hostage by that -lf thing.

Thanks.
