I have the same impression.
Yeah. Actually what I'd like is to know how many commits git log is
going to give me, so that I can do a normal progress bar whose length
is proportional to commits_read / total_commits.
Can you use something like a rotating wheel, if the total size
of the task is unknown.
Or if you know an upper bound on the number of expected commits,
you could use this as total_commits. And adjust the upper
bound if more information becomes available.
Or you just print the number of commits already read and the
user is happy because something is changing.
