[arch-dev-public] [Feature Request] add -g option for cp and mv

[Andrea Scarpino]

Hi DEVs,
I saw '-g' option in copy and move commands in Gentoo.
I want to request the same feauture for own coreutils package.
I updated the gentoo patch [1] for coreutils 6.12, then I added the
patch to PKGBUILD and it works.

-g option add a progress bar like as wget style when copy or move files.

$ cp -g iso/CoD_CD1.iso ~/Desktop/
CoD_CD1.iso
                                         |  33% |   656 MiB |    28
MiB/s | ETA 00:00.15

What do you think about?

PS. I opened a FR [2] in bugs some minutes ago. You can get PKGBUILD and patch.

Regards
