Progress indicator for git-lfs

When uploading large files to a remote repo using git-lfs, it would be very useful to be able to see the progress which I believe is available from the git-lfs process. I can see lots of network activity so I know it's busy, but I can't tell whether I should wait a moment, go for coffee, watch a movie or buy a second computer to work on in the meantime.

For that matter, "upload LFS files in the background" would be welcome, too.
