+git-annex does not display rsync progress any longer, but you do still 
+get the progress display on a per-file basis. This is at least a lot more
+compact than the rsync output.
+
+Any kind of global progress display would require a separate pass to
+identify all the files that git-annex will be operating on. That would make
+it slower in large repos, and people already complain about seek speed in
+large repos.
