Only create a packed archive if it would contain at
least one object.
+--progress::
+ Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
+ by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless -q
+ is specified. This flag forces progress status even if
+ the standard error stream is not directed to a terminal.

+--all-progress::
+ When --stdout is specified then progress report is
+ displayed during the object count and deltification phases
+ but inhibited during the write-out phase. The reason is
+ that in some cases the output stream is directly linked
+ to another command which may wish to display progress
+ status of its own as it processes incoming pack data.
+ This flag is like --progress except that it forces progress
+ report for the write-out phase as well even if --stdout is

This flag makes the command not to report its progress
on the standard error stream.
