Right now it is infeasible to offer to the user a reasonable concept
of when a clone will be complete as we aren't able to come up with
the final pack size until after we have actually transferred the
entire thing to the client. However in many cases users can work
with a rough rule-of-thumb; for example it is somewhat well known
that git.git is about 16 MiB today and that linux-2.6.git is over
120 MiB.
We now show the total amount of data we have transferred over
the network as part of the throughput meter, organizing it in
"human friendly" terms like `ls -h` would do. Users can glance at
this, see that the total transferred size is about 3 MiB, see the
throughput of X KiB/sec, and determine a reasonable figure of about
when the clone will be complete, assuming they know the rough size
of the source repository or are able to obtain it.
This is also a helpful indicator that there is progress being made
even if we stall on a very large object. The thoughput meter may
remain relatively constant and the percentage complete and object
count won't be changing, but the total transferred will be increasing
as additional data is received for this object.

Currently the progress/throughput display update happens only through
display_progress(). If the progress based on object count remains
unchanged because a large object is being received, the latest throughput
won't be displayed. The display update should occur through
display_throughput() as well.

Discussion on the list tonight came to the conclusion that showing
the name of the packfile we just created during git-repack is not
a very useful message for any end-user. For the really technical
folk who need to have the name of the newest packfile they can use
something such as `ls -t .git/objects/pack | head -2` to find the
most recently created packfile.

Rather than reimplementing the progress meter logic and always
showing 100 lines of output while pruning already packed objects
we now use a delayed progress meter and only show it if there are
enough objects to make us take a little while.
Most users won't see the message anymore as it usually doesn't take
very long to delete the already packed loose objects. This neatens
the output of a git-gc or git-repack execution, which is especially
important for a `git gc --auto` triggered from within another
command.
We perform the display_progress() call from within the very innermost
loop in case we spend more than 1 second within any single object
directory. This ensures that a progress_update event from the
timer will still trigger in a timely fashion and allow the user to
see the progress meter.
While I'm in here I changed the message to be more descriptive of
its actual task. "Removing unused objects" is a little scary for
new users as they wonder where these unused objects came from and
how they should avoid them. Truth is these objects aren't unused
in the sense of what git-prune would call a dangling object, these
are used but are just duplicates of things we have already stored
in a packfile.

Recently I was referred to the Grammar Police as the git-pack-objects
progress message 'Deltifying %u objects' is considered to be not
proper English to at least some small but vocal segment of the
English speaking population. Techncially we are applying delta
compression to these objects at this stage, so the new term is
slightly more acceptable to the Grammar Police but is also just
as correct.

Now that some pointers have lost their const attribute, we can free their
associated memory when done with them. This is more a correctness issue
about the rule for freeing those pointers which isn't completely trivial
more than the leak itself which didn't matter as the program is
exiting anyway.

Two functions, namely write_idx_file() and open_pack_file(), currently
return a const pointer. However that pointer is either a copy of the
first argument, or set to a malloc'd buffer when that first argument
is null. In the later case it is wrong to qualify that pointer as const
since ownership of the buffer is transferred to the caller to dispose of,
and obviously the free() function is not meant to be passed const
pointers.
Making the return pointer not const causes a warning when the first
argument is returned since that argument is also marked const.
The correct thing to do is therefore to remove the const qualifiers,
avoiding the need for ugly casts only to silence some warnings.

The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing
for new users, since it will push changes that are not on
the current branch. Publishing patches that were still
cooking on a development branch is hard to undo.
It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion

what branches matched on the server.
