OK, thanks for catching that.

So do you set the environment variable to get dots output?

If you're using the bzrlib api I think it might be good to provide your
own UI.  If you're just parsing the output then something like dots is
probably still needed.

I won't send this for merge until I check how this will work for you and
deal with Vincent's mail.
