Re: non-smooth progress indication for git fsck and git gc

Hi!

I'd like to point out some minor issue observed while processing some 50000-object repository with many binary objects, but most are rather small:

Between the two phases of "git fsck" (checking directories and checking objects) there was a break of several seconds where no progress was indicated.

During "git gc" the writing objects phase did not update for some seconds, but then the percentage counter jumped like from 15% to 42%.

I understand that updating the progress output too often can be a performance bottleneck, while upating it too rarely might only bore the user... ;-)

But maybe something can be done. My git version is 2.13.7 (openSUSE 42.3).

Is it possible to make this repository public? You can also use "git
fast-export --anonymize" to make a repo with same structure but no
real content (but read the man page about that option first)

Regards,
Ulrich
