True,

bazaar has this kind of progress bar, but it shows a dot only for each
downloaded changeset, so, it won't solve your particular problem.

Bazaar would have told you to use

  baz lock-revision -b

Which is the right thing to do here. Since we don't have a dedicated
server, this kind of situation can anyway happen, that's life.
However, tla/baz could cleanly catch the Control-C signal and exit
cleanly.

This is

  baz status

If you're an Emacs user, Xtla 1.1's M-x status reruns status
automatically when the tree becomes lint-clean.

Not all, but at least, it solves the problem of "I reported this
problem 3 times and it seems all my emails went to /dev/null" most of
the time.

Will be hard (but possible) to get something working on this one.

No problem on those.

Windows is still a problem with both baz and tla, but bazaar makes big
efforts to be more portable.

python is required for bazaar-ng, but baz is 100% in C.
