This message contains lots of nice details, but some of that is only really
useful after reading the diff. You mention the parameter's name but not the
function name (other combinations would make more sense).
I'd maybe write it like this, trying to follow our usual cadence of
diagnosis -> action:
Since 98a13647408 (trace2: log progress time and throughput, 2020-05-12)
stop_progress() dereferences a "struct progress **" parameter in several
places. Extract a dereferenced variable (like in stop_progress_msg()) to
reduce clutter and make it clearer who needs to write to this parameter.

Yeah, it's a good idea to reduce uses of the struct progress ** parameter.
Why not do this even earlier in this function:
struct progress *progress;
if (!p_progress)
BUG("don't provide NULL to stop_progress");
progress = *p_progress;
finish_if_sparse(progress);
if (progress) {
...
}
stop_progress_msg(p_progress, _("done"));
this way we only need to dereference once (right next to the null check)
and it's clearer that stop_progress_msg() is the only one who wants to modify
the parameter.
