check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
trees: show its phases as N of M, with progress, elapsed time and ETA (closes #113)
trees now runs in four phases, open, read, group and write, each under
the progress display scan uses, until the summary line. open covers a
wait on a busy database. read counts the records and reads them in one
read-only transaction, so the two agree during a scan; group counts the
directories, and write the groups. The rows reach stdout through a
writer that clears the display and holds its lock while writing, so no
row shares a line with the display on a shared terminal. Each rate
names what its phase counts.

Judgement call: opening the database is a phase of its own, so there are four phases, not the three the issue sketches.
