Hello,

Currently commands such as ‘guix pull’ do not report progress while
cloning of fetching a Git repo.  This is problematic when that takes a
while, for instance the first time one runs ‘guix pull’ (doing a full
clone).

We should add missing bindings (if any) to Guile-Git and use them to
show a progress bar or similar.

I’ve added support for the ‘transfer-progress’ callback in Guile-Git:

  https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git/-/commit/7a3d97a72e7907213241f62d3bac926361f50f95

However, there’s an (unrelated) issue with libgit2 meaning that
Guile-Git is not in a releasable state yet:

And now the Guix side of it:

It’s a libgit2 bug but not a showstopper after all.
