+Long: no-progress-meter
+Help: Do not show the progress meter
+See-also: verbose silent
+Added: 7.67.0
+---
+Option to switch off the progress meter output without muting or otherwise
+affecting warning and informational messages like --silent does.
+
+Note that this is the negated option name documented. You can thus use
+--progress-meter to enable the progress meter again.
