Subject: [PATCH v6 7/7] builtin/repo: add progress meter for structure stats

From: Justin Tobler <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 13:26:01 -0500

When using the structure subcommand for git-repo(1), evaluating a
repository may take some time depending on its shape. Add a progress
meter to provide feedback to the user about what is happening. The
progress meter is enabled by default when the command is executed from a
tty. It can also be explicitly enabled/disabled via the --[no-]progress
option.
