Add a temporary "progress" variable for the dereferenced p_progress
pointer to a "struct progress *". Before 98a13647408 (trace2: log
progress time and throughput, 2020-05-12) we didn't dereference
"p_progress" in this function, now that we do it's easier to read the
code if we work with a "progress" struct pointer like everywhere else,
instead of a pointer to a pointer.

This spot also wants to dereference p_progress, but doesn't access any
of the fields by dereferencing the second pointer. So this could
certainly have passed `progress` (had you scoped its declaration to the
whole function).

I don't think it hurts readability, and I definitely don't have a strong
opinion about it. Just an idle thought while reading this patch...

 		trace2_data_intmax("progress", the_repository, "total_objects",
 				   (*p_progress)->total);

 		if ((*p_progress)->throughput)
 			trace2_data_intmax("progress", the_repository,
 					   "total_bytes",
-					   (*p_progress)->throughput->curr_total);
+					   progress->throughput->curr_total);

This all looks much better to me. Thanks.

Thanks,
Taylor
