"approximately" only, because the current implementation is buggy :)
If done right it's exactly 4x the number of commits.

I think that if we can cheaply and accurately figure out the total,
then we should display it, so onlooking users can guesstimate how much
work is still left to be done.

I think this display_progress() should be places after the condition,
so no one has to waste brain cycles on figuring out, why it always
counts 255 more than the number of commits.

... and continues iterating unless it's an octopus merge.

So this display_progress() call is in the wrong place, because it will
only be invoked on octopus merges, which only rarely occur in
practice, thus it's entirely possible that it won't show any progress
at all while the outer while loop iterates over the whole history.
This display_progress() should be places somewhere before that 'if
(num_parents <= 2)' condition. And then this one, too, will count the
number of commits.
