So I dunno. It might only be a few lines. It just feels like a weird
feature to add.

I would perceive the feature as a nice, versatile trick instead of
weird… Current git clone progress is quite unexpected – when I was
starting to use Git I've had a sensation of disappointment each time
I've run clone – was expecting some nice progress bar and was served
with bunch of text lines with numbers that weren't any percentages…
I'm not saying that the progress in the asciinema is some uber cool
solution, but then, it may serve as an example to draw attention to
beautifying the progress and the freedom of hooking any command via a
core.progress_pipe might result in some other nice scripts/apps to
bloom out there.
