Show progress when commit about boar HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes, progress during commit is highly desirable. A commit is a three stage 
process. Initial scan of the files on the client, sending the files to the 
server and a final server-side verification of the data. Only the final step is 
lacking progress information, but that is bad enough, as it can be quite 
lengthy. 

Unfortunately, it is not exactly trivial to add this feature. The boar client 
performs a RPC call to the server which triggers the final stage, and the call 
does not return until the commit is complete. Just adding a suitable "print" in 
the server code would be trivial, but that would only be visible when accessing 
a local repository (not to mention violating all rules regarding code 
separation). But it will get fixed somehow.

oh sorry I missed that code separation rules. Glad to hear you're working on it.

Implemented a progress display with spinner that shows file upload and commit 
progress. Required some changes in the network protocol, so the protocol number 
has been increased (that is, it's not backwards compatible).

Issue 113 has been merged into this issue.
