it would be nice if unison could list the current throughput of its
operation, like rsync -Pv. Thanks,

Hello,

I forward this to upstream.

Thanks for the bug report.

Hello,

Unison (gtk at least) shows bandwidth information in a small window you
can ask to display (Synchronization -> Statistics).

I filed the wishlist against the unison package, not unison-gtk. It
is not solved. Can we leave it open?

Just reopen it, if you wish. I think that this kind of information is
better suited for the gtk interface. The text version is mainly about
automatic processing to my mind. The information displayed is already
quite messy (i.e. you don't know what is the current file being
transferred, you just know what happened last).

I agree that the interface isn't ideal, and something simple like
rsync would be better, but given that the output does include
percentage and ETA, adding the throughput shouldn't be hard or
useless, especially since the information apparently already exists.

IMO, it doesn't depend on the type of the interface (text vs. garphical).
Both can display this kind of information. 'scp', for example, is good
example of a text-based interface showing bandwidth information, while
being useful and clear.

If unison fails to show this kind of information, then there's a room for
improvement.
