initenv seems to hang

[eckhardt@…]

After installing the default wiki pages, initenv seems to hang. The problem is of course what it prints right after sitting there for ages: "Indexing repository". The problem is that I ran this on a multi-GiB SVN repository, and indexing that of course takes time.

It would be nice if you could alert the user that the next step's time depends on the size of the repository.

In trunk, it will print out the number for each rev as it indexes it. This makes it fairly clear what is going on, and gives a way to estimate how long it will take.

And in case you interrupt it by accident, you don't need to resync from the start: next time you'll access the environment using the web client, the resync will be resumed from where it was left. In that latter case however, you won't have any feedback before the resync is finished, so it may seem to hang as well if you're not aware of what's happening.
