This reverts commit5b12e3123b(progress: use term_clear_line(), 2019-06-24), because covering up the entire last line while refreshing the progress line caused unexpected problems during 'git clone/fetch/push': $ git clone ssh://localhost/home/szeder/src/tmp/linux.git/ Cloning into 'linux'... remote: remote: remote: remote: Enumerating objects: 999295 The length of the progress bar line can shorten when it includes throughput and the unit changes, or when its length exceeds the width of the terminal and is broken into two lines. In these cases the previously displayed longer progress line should be covered up, because otherwise the leftover characters from the previous progress line make the output look weird [1]. term_clear_line() makes this quite simple, as it covers up the entire last line either by using an ANSI control sequence or by printing a terminal width worth of space characters, depending on whether the terminal is smart or dumb. Unfortunately, when accessing a remote repository via any non-local protocol the remote 'git receive-pack/upload-pack' processes can't possibly have any idea about the local terminal (smart of dumb? how wide?) their progress will end up on. Consequently, they assume the worst, i.e. standard-width dumb terminal, and print 80 spaces to cover up the previously displayed progress line. The local 'git clone/fetch/push' processes then display the remote's progress, including these coverup spaces, with the 'remote: ' prefix, resulting in a total line length of 88 characters. If the local terminal is narrower than that, then the coverup gets line-wrapped, and after that the CR at the end doesn't return to the beginning of the progress line, but to the first column of its last line, resulting in those repeated 'remote: <many-spaces>' lines. By reverting5b12e3123b(progress: use term_clear_line(), 2019-06-24) we won't cover up the entire last line, but go back to comparing the length of the current progress bar line with the previous one, and cover up as many characters as needed.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
