The latest patch does not apply because of mainly ed308d7. Could you
send a rebase?

FWIW, I would remove the signal toggling stuff from the patch and keep
the logic simple at this stage. Not having a solution which works on
Windows is perhaps not a strong reason to not include it, but it's a
sign that we could perhaps design something better, and that's
annoying. Personally I think that I would just use --progress all the
time and not use the signaling part at all, my 2c.
