Earlier I suggested allowing --progress="custom text" since this may be
driven as plumbing for other commands. But I don't think there's any
need to worry about it now. It can be added seamlessly later if we find
such a caller.

I don't really have an opinion on a 1 second delay versus 2. I thought
we used 2 pretty consistently, though grepping around I do see a couple
of 1's. It probably doesn't matter, but just a curiosity.
