I just wanted to see whether it's possible to check all progress lines

Oh, and there is another one:

test_expect_success 'test' '
	git commit --allow-empty -m 1 &&
	git commit --allow-empty -m 2 &&
	git commit --allow-empty -m 3 &&
	GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY=0 \
	git commit-graph write --progress --reachable --split &&
	git commit --allow-empty -m 4 &&
	GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY=0 \
	git commit-graph write --progress --reachable --split
'

The last command's progress output ends with:

  Writing out commit graph in 5 passes:  80% (4/5), done.

This is because since 53035c4f0b (commit-graph write: add "Writing
out" progress output, 2019-01-19) we have assumed that the work done
while writing each chunk is proportional to the number of commits in
the graph, but with the arrival of split commit graphs and the BASE
chunk in 118bd57002 (commit-graph: add base graphs chunk, 2019-06-18)
that's not longer the case.
