*sigh*  (And sorry, Ævar.)

Before an item is done, it should be reported as not done.  After an
item is done, it should be reported as done.  One loop iteration
finishes one item.  Thus the number of items to report at the bottom of
the loop is one higher than at the top.  i is the correct number to
report at the top of a zero-based loop, i+1 at the bottom.

There is another place: In the loop header.  It's a weird place for a
function call, but it gets triggered before, between and after all
items, just as we need it:

	for (i = 0; display_progress(ctx->progress), i < ctx->commits.nr; i++) {

We could hide this unseemly sight in a macro:

  #define progress_foreach(index, count, progress) \
  for (index = 0; display_progress(progress, index), index < count; index++)

Hmm?

René
