But it feels a bit too noisy; let's disable it. Don't do that. I like it. I think you need output like this not to prevent boredom but to reassure that nothing has crashed or gone wild. A checkout of a big project really can take time, so it's nice to have the feedback. Incidentally, the other place that needs some sort of feedback is the beginning of git-fetch/git-push. I think they are off listing remote branches, but they don't output anything before they do it, so I have no idea where the delay is (actually I know that the delay is from forming the ssh connection - which seems to be unable to understand that I'm connecting over a VPN and my IP has no reverse DNS so don't check for it - grr - but the point is that nothing is (apparently) happening and I have no feedback to know why). I'll submit a patch...
