Yup.  Your patches were a big improvement.  But I'm now sitting here
wondering if we shouldn't just allow a progress meter to overwrite
the prior one.  Then you only see the current task and progress,
or the final output if we have nothing further to say about that.

And then you've lost some diagnostic clue (the absolute numbers) about 
the actual number of objects that were listed for "deltification" for 
example.

And imagine that you see the progress moving slowly because the remote 
server is a NSLU2, but it says 80%.  Then you go for a coffee and the 
progress says 20% when you return because it now has moved to a 
different phase.  Rather counter intuitive.

Obligatory me too: I totally agree with Nicolas here.
