If nothing else uses it, I would rather we just change the signature. If
someone else wants to use the core plugin they just have to provide a
NullProgressMonitor to the method.

We should probably just stick wtih run().

All I can think of is picking some number to provide as an estimate to the
total number of objects, and then increment by 1. That would at least
cause the monitor to increment. Maybe there is a way that
Subversion/JavaHL could be enhanced some day to send a notification that
we could catch to use for this?
Is there a way we could start with something like 1000 and then if we
reach that number add another 100 to it? Maybe the 1000 could be a
preference? Seems like overkill though. Also, for other operations like
commit/update the 1000 would probably be way too big.
Does Eclipse provide a ProgressMonitor for the scenario where you do not
know the total?
