Looks nice :)  It makes it much more comfortable to wait for the real
output.  Perhaps there should be a config option to enable the
eye-candy when git-blame is run on a terminal (e.g. (configoption &&
stdout is a tty && stderr is a tty) || --progress)?  Typing --progress
is annoying.

I also noticed that git-blame with --progress is slowed down a bit by
the terminal here; the output on stderr was ~400kb.
