That looks helpful, particularly when a backup has many relation
files. Calculating the total size when browsing the file list looks
fine.

Nothing on HEAD proposes --progress and --quiet at the same time from
what I can see, so just disabling the combination is fine by me. For
the error message, I would recommend to switch to a more generic
pattern, as of:
"cannot specify both %s and %s", "-P/--progress", "-q/--quiet"
Could you add a check based on command_fails_like() in 004_options.pl,
at least? A second test to check after the output of --progress would
be a nice bonus, for example by sticking --progress into one of the
existing commands doing a command_like().
