Doing a "git clone" (like "darcs get"), I see this:

    Receiving objects: 100% (5994/5994), 1.02 MiB | 127 KiB/s, done.

It would be nice if Darcs would also tell me about the size and speed
of network transfers.  When a cache is enabled, it should also tell me
how much was grabbed locally instead of downloading, e.g.

    $ darcs get --tag 1.0.0 $URL
    [...]
    Downloaded 10MB from network and found 520MB in local cache(s).

Ideally it would even tell me how much had to be downloaded *before*
the download started, e.g. below.  However I don't think the current
repository formats make that easy -- darcs would need to use HTTP HEAD
on each patch and look at the Content-Length header.

    $ darcs get --tag 1.0.0 $URL
    Need to get 10MB/530MB of patches. After applying 18MB will be used.
    Fetching patch 1/8770

    <oh no!  I don't even have that much disk space!>
    ^C Interrupted

Hi Alexey,

Here's another ticket which I think may be related to your GSoC project.
 Again, not an obligation, just pinning this to you for my tracking. 
Thanks!
