Comment 5 for bug 448305

I've implemented the calculation of the total backup/copy progress (see my branch https://code.launchpad.net/~yegorslists/+junk/bit revision 780). I'm using rsync 3.0.5 in Ubuntu 9.04. At first I calculate the total amount of files using --dry-run and then current progress using --progess option. I've blogged about this method here: https://libbits.wordpress.com/2011/04/09/get-total-rsync-progress-using-python/

What do you think about this solution?
