I did a little more testing, and I can't reproduce the problem against a
local git-daemon. I tried using several versions for the server, going
all the way back to v1.5.0, which pre-dates no-progress, and all of them
worked just fine.

So I am inclined to think there is something non-standard or broken at
gitorious.org. I'm cc'ing support@gitorious to see if they have any
comment.
