Subject: [PATCH] fetch: show progress for packfile uri downloads

Git appears to hang when downloading packfiles as this part of the
fetch is silent, causing user confusion. This change implements
progress for the number of packfiles downloaded; a progress display
for bytes would involve deeper changes at the http-fetch layer
instead of fetch-pack, the caller.

    fetch: show progress for packfile uri downloads
    
    Git appears to hang when downloading packfiles as this part of the fetch
    is silent, causing user confusion. This change implements progress for
    the number of packfiles downloaded; a progress display for bytes would
    involve deeper changes at the http-fetch layer instead of fetch-pack,
    the caller.
