Yes, Beta 1 had the spinner that I have given up on and that apparently
fails for Windows.

The thought here is this. In my tests, even with 10000 dives loading from
local git takes only a few seconds, not long enough for anyone to worry.
But loading 10000 dives over a slow-ish link can take minutes. That's when
I want to show the progress bar.
