When 'git commit-graph write --reachable' is invoked, the commit-graph machinery calls 'for_each_ref()' to discover the set of reachable commits. Right now the 'add_ref_to_set' callback is not doing anything other than adding an OID to the set of known-reachable OIDs. In a subsequent commit, 'add_ref_to_set' will presumptively peel references. This operation should be fast for repositories with an up-to-date '$GIT_DIR/packed-refs', but may be slow in the general case. So that it doesn't appear that 'git commit-graph write' is idling with '--reachable' in the slow case, add a progress meter to provide some output in the meantime. In general, we don't expect a progress meter to appear at all, since peeling references with a 'packed-refs' file is quick. If it's slow and we do show a progress meter, the subsequent 'fill_oids_from_commits()' will be fast, since all of the calls to 'lookup_commit_reference_gently()' will be no-ops. Both progress meters are delayed, so it is unlikely that more than one will appear. In either case, this intermediate state will go away in a handful of patches, at which point there will be at most one progress meter.
