Re: Progress bar again

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   If there is good case for it, one possibility would be to do
   something similar for cp and mv.

When using translators (like ftpfs, nfs, etc) on GNU/Hurd, quite nice
to know when the transfer is boged down or not.

I once suggested a "progress bar" idea to someone (forgot who), the
idea was not to have a "progress _bar_" but just some kind of status
indication. That is, something like this (the percent bit could
actually be ditched):

$ mv -v file1 file2
`file1' -> `file2' 50% [512/1024]
                        ^^^ ^^^^ Amount to be copied/moved/removed.
                        Amount copied/moved/removed.

Just an idea for someone...
