Recently I was cloning a very big submodule of a project. After waiting ~30 minutes and only seeing the "Cloning into... " message, I assumed something is wrong and git is silent about it for some reason. So I started to look for something like '--verbose' or '--debug', and stumbled upon '--progress'.
It got me thinking - what is the point of this option after all? Wouldn't it be better from the user experience perspective if the progress was shown by default, just like in case of many other commands like 'clone', 'fetch' or 'pull'? You can silence the progress status by using the -q (or --quiet) option. The option '--progress' being absent from the 'git submodule --help' page also doesn't help. It is, however, present in 'git submodule--helper --help' output. I am eager to make a change request and remove this flag or make it true by default if someone would be kind enough to advice me where is the code that needs to be changed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
