For context, I discovered this when I tried to rename a remote with tens

experience for users in that situation.

Thanks again for pointing it out to me. To be honest, I'm skeptical that
this patch alone will improve things much, since you still have to pass
the '-v' flag to see the new progress meter.

But perhaps users who suspect the command is hung will re-run it with
the '-v' flag instinctually and get more helpful output. I'll look at
making `git remote`'s `-v` behave a little more like `--[no-]progress'
in another series.

Thanks,
