Currently it is possible for a Darcs command to finish with screen
output like this.  Similar output exists for the number of
hashes/patches, but I don't have an example handy.

    $ darcs put [...]
    Defining environment variables 2/3 : DARCS_PATCHES_XML
    Finished applying...
    Put successful.

Several users have asked me "why did it stop at two out of three?  Did
something go wrong?"  This is a source of worry and confusion for new
users.  Either Darcs should ensure the last message (100% done) is
printed, or it should clear progress output when the operation is
finished.

Presumably we have the same problem with the new progress reporting text (only
now it's 2 done, 1 queued).

I'm going to guess this is actually an easy one and due to some technique for
bunching up the changes so we don't report too many of them.  I think whoever
works on this should study the progress reporting code, and if the answer is not
clear within (say) 2 hours, take off the ProbablyEasy tag.
