Yea.

It seems worthwhile in some form - on large cluster in copy mode, the "Copying
user relation files" step can take *quite* a while, and even link/clone mode
aren't fast. But perhaps what'd be really needed is something counting up
actual progress in percentage of files and/or space...

I think just coupling it to verbose mode makes the most sense, for now?
