I do not know if there is no point, but if we were to do it, I think
slurping the list of packs and computing the number of objects is
not all that bad.

I am wondering if the progress call should be moved after this
conditional continue; would we want to count the entry whose
generation is already known here? Of course, as we give commits->nr
as the 100% ceiling, we cannot avoid doing so, but it somehow smells
wrong.
