For the record, I don't object to an additional callback. The reason
I queried it is that it is a change to the current feedback "policy"
and I think such changes should be discussed.

Looking through the archives I see you got burnt by svn:tarball. I
believe progress feedback is in a different category, I would be
surprised if anyone objected to the idea of progress feedback.
If you do decide to go ahead with a progress callback I suspect the
majority of the work will be arranging for the callback to be called,
rather than the details of the callback itself. I see there is a neon
progress callback, were you planning to use that? What about ra_svn?
It would be great if both network layers provided progress feedback,
although I guess an ra_dav only version would be a good start. Are
you considering moving the existing commit feedback for text-deltas
from the notify callback to the progress callback?
