Johannes Schindelin b0e908977e Fixup no-progress for fetch & clone
The intent of the commit 'fetch & clone: do not output progress when
not on a tty' was to make fetching and cloning less chatty when
output was not redirected (such as in a cron job).

However, there was a serious thinko in that commit. It assumed that
the client _and_ the server got this update at the same time. But
this is obviously not the case, and therefore upload-pack died on
seeing the option "--no-progress".

This patch fixes that issue by making it a protocol option. So, until
your server is updated, you still see the progress, but once the
server has this patch, it will be quiet.

A minor issue was also fixed: when cloning, the checkout did not
heed no_progress.

git-upload-pack(1)
==================
NAME
----
git-upload-pack - Send objects packed back to git-fetch-pack
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-upload-pack' [--strict] [--timeout=<n>] <directory>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Invoked by 'git-fetch-pack', learns what
objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing.
This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
The UI for the protocol is on the 'git-fetch-pack' side, and the
program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote
repository. For push operations, see 'git-send-pack'.
OPTIONS
-------
\--strict::
Do not try <directory>/.git/ if <directory> is no git directory.
\--timeout=<n>::
Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity.
<directory>::
