Yes, in your case cat(1) is superflues (see also the Useless Use of Cat
Award) because the correct way would be:
camibar% fossil import --git file.fossil < file.git
It depends of the tool 'fossil' if you can monitor somehow the progress,
for example if it writes a log or with accounting tools how many bytes
have been read, etc.
