And it isn't even the common case either. So I think a bit of cheating to keep the common case simple isn't that bad. And it is not like if the whole thing was thrown away. For example I think messages like remote: Writing 1234 objects. are good messages to have in a log file even when progress display is filtered out. So the sideband demultiplexing is useful in that case as well.
