* `PROGRESS Int`
Indicates the current progress of the transfer (in bytes). May be repeated
any number of times during the transfer process, but it's wasteful to
update the progress until at least another 1% of the file has been sent.
update the progress too frequently. Bear in mind that this is used both
to display a progress meter for the user, and for annex.stalldetection.
So, sending an update on each 1% of the file may not be frequent enough,
as it could appear to be a stall when transferring a large file.
This is highly recommended for STORE. (It is optional but good for RETRIEVE.)
