git read-tree -mu HEAD is the mechanism used for updating a working directory after updating a sparse-checkout file. However, there is no progress indicator for it doing the work. This can be a lot of work if the working directory grows a lot and many files need to be written.
Add a progress indicator to git read-tree. Don't forget:
-
to include a --[no-]progress option to the command line.
-
to turn progress off by default (to match existing behavior).
After #180 is complete, update the builtin code for git sparse-checkout to pass --progress (unless the command is run without a terminal, i.e.isatty(2) == 0).
