General: how long does metadata removal usually take? Rather than a single:
"Removing metadata ... done"
prompt, would it be useful to have a rolling progress, showing how we're
doing when removing bits of metadata instead? eg.
"Removing metadata 1/100"
In the case of the example in the bug report, 16 minutes is a very long
time to be waiting with no feedback other than, effectively "I'm busy".
The problem with that idea is that we don't know how much metadata there
is to remove and since we're not actually removing the metadata
piece-by-piece (we use rmtree) we can't provide meaningful progress for
each metadata item as it is removed.
The progress tracker should have a spinner that outputs from
time-to-time for cases like these (I thought it did?).
