I think it should show up in --progress mode.  It would be great if we
could show fine-grained progress reports on the checkpoint, but if we can't
do that we should still report as fine as we are able to, which is that a
checkpoint is in progress. Otherwise we are setting the perfect as the
enemy of the good.
