This series makes git-clone follow the "argument convention" of
git-pack-objects, where the option --progress is used to force
reporting of reporting. This was previously done with -v/--verbose.
This in effect ensures a single consistent convention regarding
progress reporting for git commands. Having two conventions may
potentially confuse users.
On a related note, Brent wrote a patch a while back [1]. This series is
not as ambitious his and does not deal with the main git options. In
fact, only the last patch effects the titular change. If a consensus is
reached on this though, I don't rule out a separate patch/series to
set the convention at the main git level.
PS. If someone can enlighten me on the proper noun for the git
executable (I said "main git"), I would be very thankful.
PPS. Merry Christmas and happy holidays. :)

check stderr with isatty() instead of stdout when deciding to show
progress
