When 'git index-pack' is run by 'git clone', its check_objects() function usually doesn't take long enough to be a concern, but I just run into a situation where it took about a minute or so: I inadvertently put some memory pressure on my tiny laptop while cloning linux.git, and then there was quite a long silence between the "Resolving deltas" and "Checking connectivity" progress bars. Show a progress bar during the loop of check_objects() to let the user know that something is still going on.
