When the progress bar includes throughput, its length can shorten as
the unit of display changes from KiB to MiB. To cover up remnants of
the previous progress bar when such a change of units happens we
always print three spaces at the end of the progress bar.
Alas, covering only three characters is not quite enough: when both
the total and the throughput happen to change units from KiB to MiB in
the same update, then the progress bar's length is shortened by four
characters (or maybe even more!):
Receiving objects: 25% (2901/11603), 772.01 KiB | 733.00 KiB/s
Receiving objects: 27% (3133/11603), 1.43 MiB | 1.16 MiB/s s
and a stray 's' is left behind.
So instead of hard-coding the three characters to cover, let's compare
the length of the current progress bar with the previous one, and
cover up as many characters as needed.
Sure, it would be much simpler to just print more spaces at the end of
the progress bar, but this approach is more future-proof, and it won't
print extra spaces when none are needed, notably when the progress bar
doesn't show throughput and thus never shrinks.

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-.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).
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
