Cloning a big mercurial project

Hello,

I am now using mercurial for the best and also because it is in Python.

One of the thing, I am wishing for a while, is a loading bar for the `hg 
clone` option.

I am stuck for 2 hours on this message :

    requesting all changes
    adding changesets
    adding manifests
    adding file changes

And I don't even know how long I should still wait or why I am waiting.

My wish is to have a statuts (Something like git could do it)

    requesting all changes
    adding changesets [256/256]
    adding manifests [502/502]
    adding file changes [256/1024]

So I can see that something is happening.
This is the minimum but something like this could be even better.

    adding file changes [256/1024]  www/foo/bar.py      2,36Ko/s  eta: 56 mn

Is there any reason of why it is not yet implemented in Mercurial ?
I couldn't find the mercurial project repository of mercurial. All I 
found is hg-website.
Where is it ?

I wish I could have this as a Christmas present. :)

Best Regards,

Natim
