1305903 - Enable progress printing

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Services :: Mercurial: robustcheckout, defect)

Description

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

One of the reasons bug 1286900 got backed out is because Windows jobs were going 30 minutes without output when performing the equivalent of `hg update` and the no output timer killed the process. The underlying cause for that being so slow is bug 1305174. However, Mercurial should be printing progress bars when it is running. It wasn't because automation doesn't have the hgrc settings necessary to force the progress bars to print.

Let's not take any chances about what automation is configured to do and enable progress printing from within `hg robustcheckout`.

Some machines in automation don't have progress bars enabled. This was
causing job no activity timeouts on some really slow machines. Also,
not having progress bars makes it difficult to understand how certain
operations progressed (from the "shape" of the progress bars you can
see things like if operations started slow, finished slow, etc).

Let's force enable them during `hg robustcheckout`.
