title: git clone over HTTP does not show any output
body: <p><br>
  I have setup a git repo and wanted to access it through HTTP. Everything is fine, but when I do <code>git clone http://mygit/abc.git</code> it takes a while and completes. I do not see any "Counting objects ....." kind of prints. My repo clones fine.</p>
  
  <p>See below. </p>
  
  <p>Why is this so?</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git clone http://mygit/abc.git
  Cloning into abc...
  $
  $ ls
  abc
  $
  </code></pre>
