rev-list: add optional progress reporting
It's easy to ask rev-list to do a traversal that may takes
many seconds (e.g., by calling "--objects --all"). In theory
you can monitor its progress by the output you get to
stdout, but this isn't always easy.
Some operations, like "--count", don't make any output until
the end.
And some callers, like check_everything_connected(), are
using it just for the error-checking of the traversal, and
throw away stdout entirely.
This patch adds a "--progress" option which can be used to
give some eye-candy for a user waiting for a long traversal.
This is just a rev-list option and not a regular traversal
option, because it needs cooperation from the callbacks in
builtin/rev-list.c to do the actual count.
