As bundle API has been stable over a long period of time, I do not
think the loss of flexibility is too bad (i.e. we no longer can cary
any extra information that cannot be expressed as a textual argument
given to the index-pack process), compared to gained flexibility of
the index-pack command line we can use.

I would have expected you'd use pushl() here.

Good to comment on this.  I found it a bit surprising that the in
argument "extra_index_pack_args" is eaten by the consumer, instead
of leaving it up to the caller when to clear (or reuse before clear)
it.

This is not even run-command.h, so the mention of "run-command.h API
itself" sounded strange to me.  Without "itself", perhaps I would
have slightly less puzzled.  IIRC, run_command() only clears upon
success and does not clear if start_command() fails, so it is not a
very good comparison.  I think the comment reads better without this
last parenthesized note.

Why conditional?

If transport->progress is false, extra_index_pack_args is a strvec
that has 0 elements in it, and the strvec_pushvec() code knows how
to handle it correctly and efficiently anyway.  

I do not see a reason why we want to make the caller harder to read
with the same conditional twice (i.e. if we pass NULL in non-verbose
case, we can unconditionally put "-v" in the array, and clear the
array on the side of this caller, and that would allow us lose the
clear from the unbundle() function).

Other than that, looks very simple.  Nicely done.

Thanks.
