I am interested in adding "progress bar" feature to "cp" and "mv" commands.

For this I downloaded the latest source code GNU-coreutils-8.21.

 

A progress bar is somewhat intrusive to the copy command, but patches and tools exist already. I've created a patch for cp together with a friend, which is maintained at:

https://bitbucket.org/henrikjuul/icp

Also, we got our inspiration from a patch which was not maintained at the time of our patch, it has, however, now reappeared for coreutils 8.21:
