Re: [PATCH] cg-pull: summarize the number of pulled objects

Dear diary, on Mon, May 30, 2005 at 03:56:50AM CEST, I got a letter
where Jonas Fonseca [off-list ref] told me that...

Show cg-pull progress by summarizing the very verbose output of the pull
backends into a continously updated line specifying the number of
objects which have already been pulled.

Straight from the bloat department, perhaps, but it is nice to not have
the terminal backlog ruined and the object count is quite nice too. :)

Interesting, it counts 4950 objects when pulling over rsync and 4454
objects when pulling locally. Didn't test HTTP pulling other than to see
if the "got <sha>" lines was matched correctly.

It is nice, but actually losing information for me. It's ok for the HTTP
and SSH "smart pulls", but if I pull over rsync, I have progress
indication based on the first two digits - assuming roughly even
distribution of hashes, I can see that when I cross 80/ I'm in the half
etc. So what about showing some percentage or something in that case?
