Isn't progress notification pretty much standard in GUI environments -
are there not standard notification paradigms which you could use, which
have a notion of "how much out of how much in total" and have some
string parameter to convey "the thing I'm currently processing" and even
have the notion of stages?
I would expect to see us move towards using a single progress callback
type throughout Subversion instead of an FS-specific thing.
