Passing --progress enables a progress display, but it is displayed on stderr, which is the same place git fsck displays some errors which git-annex also parses. Any attempt to untangle the progress and the error messages could be broken by changes to the git fsck output, so would not be a good idea. So while this is a good idea, it doesn't work out. """]]
