[PATCH modular 2/2] Force progress on 'git clone'.

[Jeremy Huddleston]

You could do something like this to test the version (I forget portability rules with POSIX shells, so if the variable magic is a bash-ism, you'll want to use sed instead:

V=$(git version | cut -f3 -d' ')
VMA=${V%%.*}
VNMA=${V#*.}
VMI=${VNMA%%.*}

[ ${VMA} -gt 1 -o ( ${VMA} -eq 1 -a ${VMI} -ge 7 ) ]
