I think we all agree that this is very important stuff.  You might want to have
a look at the related issue72.

Also, just to check, is it really both darcs get and darcs pull where Rob is
experiencing the problems?

The reason I ask is that if it was just darcs pull, we have an idea why it's
so slow (lots of commutation).  And for this, we really ought to have some
extra progress indicators.

But if darcs get was also slow and silent, then I am puzzled, because then
the issue is likely something more mundane like fetching files over HTTP.
And darcs get has plenty of verbosity there, so it wouldn't be both slow
and silent.

So just to confirm, is it really just darcs pull that has this silent
behaviour?
