Refreshing the index is usually very fast, but it can still take a
long time sometimes. Cold cache is one, or something else silly (*).
In this case, it's good to show something to let the user know "git
status" is not hanging, it's just busy doing something.

(*) I got called by my colleague because her "git status" took very
    long and looked pretty much like hanging. After a bit of strace,
    it looks to me that git was trying to rehash every single file,
    and this was a big repository. This process could take minutes.

    In this case, I think it was probably because she copied this
    repository to a new place and stat data did not match anymore. So
    git fell back to hashing.

 I need to get this out of my head before I forget. I obviously think
 this is a good idea and could be done in more places, even just to
 deal with cold cache. The hint about "git status -uno" for example,
 could be accompanied by a progress bar for scanning for untracked
 files...

 Another note about rehashing files as part of refresh. We probably
 could do better by hashing in parallel. Or perhaps not because having
 a big lock around object database pretty much kills performance, and
 if I remember correctly none of my core was 100% consumed (i.e. CPU
 bottleneck as an indication that multithread is a good idea...)

 Anyway that's it! Weekend after a long week! I'll read mails and
 respond tomorrow.

Nit: Both display_progress() and stop_progress() behave sanely when
'progress' is NULL, so no need for the conditional.

Don't forget this one in preload-index.c:preload_index():

+	if (pd.progress)
+		stop_progress(&pd.progress);

I found this extra one by creating the following rules in a Coccinelle script:

@@
expression e;
@@
- if (e) { stop_progress(&e); }
+ stop_progress(&e);

@@
expression e;
expression i;
@@
- if (e) { display_progress(e, i); }
+ display_progress(e, i);


Not sure if we want to put these in a .cocci script or not.

Thanks,

If so, we'd want to match display_throughput() and stop_progress_msg(), as well.
