I'm ok with K and K/s.  Saving a little space so we have more for the
actual progress text is worthwhile.  In the info output space is not a
concern so I think Alexander's KB is good.

The user doesn't necessarily need to know what the arrows mean.  It's
a blinkenlight.  It may be useful to Bazaar developers or people may
gradually get to know what the patterns mean.

Eventually as we improve the progress text it should give a more
meaningful description of what's going on.
