That would be wonderful. But the information just isn't available.
'copy_multi' code only knows that it is copying a list of ids, it
doesn't know how big any of them are. And SFTP doesn't know to put a
progress in the case that something is bigger than X bytes.

Now, Repository might have an idea that inventory.weave is going to be
big, but how does it explain that down deep into the
LocalTransport.put(SFTPTransport.get()) call?

I suppose this is just a general communication question, and how you
transfer information between layers.
