Is it possible to get Mercurial to show progress of long-running push or pull operation? Google tells me basically "no", but does somebody know better? I was expecting something like hg pull -v...

Mercurial 3.5 has progress enabled by default.
Earlier versions can use the standard progress extension shipped since version 1.5. Simply enable the extension by adding this to your hgrc file:
[extensions]
progress =
You will then see progress bars on clone, push, pull, and other operations. The progress bars are only shown after an initial delay of 3 seconds by default. You can easily change this by adding:
[progress]
delay = 1.5
to your hgrc file. See hg help progress after enabling the extension.

6 years on - still an extension, it seems? – jez Oct 23 '15 at 20:41

@jez: Actually no, Mercurial 3.5 moved the functionality into core and has it enabled by default. A little late for my taste, but at least it's there now :-) – Martin Geisler Oct 29 '15 at 09:22

Googling for this doesn't bring up any info on the built-in feature. Wonder who I should blame for this… – Jürgen A. Erhard Apr 08 '22 at 11:05

@JürgenA.Erhard, when searching for "Mercurial progress bar" I found https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ProgressExtension. That page says (tersely) that the functionality is now in core. The relevant settings are then documented here: https://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html#progress – Martin Geisler Apr 09 '22 at 12:36

hg pull -v
-v / --verbose
is a global option that applies to all sub-functions.
If you want extra data:
hg --debug -v pull
