+Finally wrapped up progress bars; upload progress is now reported in all
+situations.

+After all that, I was pleased to find a use for the progress info, beyond
+displaying it to the user. Now the assistant uses it to decide whether it
+makes sense to immediately retry a failed transfer. This should make it
+work nicely, or at least better, with flaky network or drives.

+but I'm glad I caught this before releasing the beta.

+Started doing some design for [[transfer_control]]. I will start
+work on this after releasing the first beta.
