Yea, I didn't consider that. That's where you need to show the
number of steps and which one you are on, so the meter looks
more like:
Step 1/3: Counting objects: .... \r
Step 2/4: Compressing objects: ... \r
Step 3/3: Writing objects: .... \r
only all smashed into one line of course, so only the most recent
one is being displayed.
Looks good, although as Nicholas pointed out you might not know in
advanced how many steps there are.
So I still think that Nicholas' original point is valid is here, and
if you overwrite old progress bars with new ones then you may falsely
give the impression of "going backwards".
