Yep. The problem only manifests if the user wants
to see the output in "real time" - not for later analysis.
In the latter case, the user would have redirected the
output somewhere else.
So, how about a '--summary' option for export / co / up
reports that aggregates consecutive lines if they refer to
the same folder, e.g. /some/folder/path 12 added 13 updated.
In case of an error, the detailed list for that folder would
be displayed.
Please note that there may be multiple summary outputs
per folder as the incoming data is not necessarily sorted
by path, IIRC.
