From Martin and I - any download of a single object that takes more than a few seconds should start to show progress using the new nested_progress foo. |

description |
I branched off rocketfuel, did some work, then I wanted to merge in the latest rocketfuel changes into my branch. So I ran 'bzr merge', which printed out:
Using saved location: sftp://chinstrap.warthogs.hbd.com/home/warthogs/
archives/rocketfuel/launchpad/devel
SSH bjorn@chinstrap.warthogs.hbd.com password:
get source ancestry 0/0
Now, some 10-20 minutes later, it's still getting source ancestry 0/0. I can see some network activity, so I can only assume it's doing something, but what? It'd be nice if some information would be displayed, explaining what it's doing. Extra points for some sort of progress bar as well, to give a hint of how long this will take. |
This particular bug was originally just about merge, but generally its tricky to ensure that progress indicators work well and reliably; I think the particular merge bug has been fixed but there are more. A systematic approach to address this would be good but perhaps asking too much. |

in progress ;-) -- 1.12 contains some transport-based indications of when stuff's happening, even if no higher-level code sends progress messages |

I'm going to mark this fix released as the systematic problem is fixed by showing activity indicators and by adding progress reporting in to more places.
There may still be cases where we do not update the progress bar often enough or well enough, but let's handle that by reporting bugs for specific cases. |
