index-pack: add --progress-title option

Add a --progress-title option to index-pack, when data is piped into
index-pack its progress is a proxy for whatever's feeding it data.

This option will allow us to set a more relevant progress bar title in
"git bundle unbundle", and is also used in my "bundle-uri" RFC
patches[1] by a new caller in fetch-pack.c.

The code change in cmd_index_pack() won't handle
"--progress-title=xyz", only "--progress-title xyz", and the "(i+1)"
style (as opposed to "i + 1") is a bit odd.

Not using the "--long-option=value" style is inconsistent with
existing long options handled by cmd_index_pack(), but makes the code
that needs to call it better (two strvec_push(), instead of needing a
strvec_pushf()). Since the option is internal-only the inconsistency
shouldn't matter.

I'm copying the pattern to handle it as-is from the handling of the
existing "-o" option in the same function, see 9cf6d3357aa (Add
git-index-pack utility, 2005-10-12) for its addition. That's a short
option, but the code to implement the two is the same in functionality
and style. Eventually we'd like to migrate all of this this to
parse_options(), which would make these differences in behavior go
away.

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://lore.kernel.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
