that's a good idea to use -v5, however in my use case i have lots of small files and a few very large files.
google search suggestions seems to indicate that it's a feature that many people are looking for. i don't think it's very difficult to implement this, just a matter of doing an initial list of all files, tallying their file sizes, then comparing this list to what's already in the backup (for missing/changed files, etc.) the \r escape sequence (carriage return) should work on all posix platforms to reset the cursor to the beginning of the line.
