+### Please describe the problem.
+
+git annex reports progress the same when when stdout is a terminal or not.
+This is fine when stdout is actually a terminal, but produce lots of annoying characters when stdout is just a regular file.
+This is problematic mostly when running git-annex with cron.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+git annex copy --to myrepo > log
+
+then look at the content of log.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+5.20151019
+
+Mac OS X 10.10.5
+Ubuntu 14.04
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.

+[[!format sh """
+# If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here.
+# If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log
+
+
+# End of transcript or log.

+
+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
