Improve progress reporting during checkout #133
Comments
From a purely technical point of view, do you have any idea how to do this? |
|
As mentioned in the StackOverflow article linked above, the progress counter is only for step 2 of a 4 step clone process and even that is approximate as it is a percent of objects transmitted, not the data volume transmitted. Step 1 can take quite a while for a repo with a deep and/or complex commit tree. |
Summary of Issue:
Big repos take a long time to check out and it may look like the manage_externals is hanging
Expected behavior and actual behavior:
The improved behavior is to add a % complete that is periodically updated when checking out a large repository. This would provide some feedback to the user.
Steps to reproduce the problem (should include model description file(s) or link to publi c repository):
Check out any External with a large repo, such as a lot of submodules.
