I know that. I've tried to make the best of it with neon. That's what's
implemented now - not very good but better than nothing. At least I can
show the user some transfer speed.

What would be needed is to pass a structure from e.g. svn_client_ctx_t
down to every ra module. Currently, that's not done (and I don't know if
it would be accepted to include that header file in the ra modules).
If that's done, then a 'higher' module can fill in the data into that
structure (e.g. number of total files to transmit, including total
bytes), then the ra modules can fill in the data they know (transferred
bytes) and call a callback function which informs the client about it.
