create: display stats, especially amount of data which was backed up

[mirko]

Have you checked borgbackup docs, FAQ, and open GitHub issues?

Yes

Is this a BUG / ISSUE report or a QUESTION?

IMPROVEMENT / FEATURE-REQUEST (I think this should be added as option to the list of categories to choose from)

System information. For client/server mode post info for both machines.

Your borg version (borg -V).

borg 2.0.0b11.dev3+gc278a8e8.d20240915

Describe the problem Feature-Request you're observing asking for

I feel like it woud be very helpful to have a summary after each completed borg create-call provided.

Duplicity provides the following "Backup Statistic" at the end of such a call:

which I find extremely helpful, especially
(a) how much data was backed up during this run

Just noticed --stats only now - will test and potentially edit and ask for deletion of this issue if it actually does what I outlined above.

While doing the bigger changes recently, I had to remove quite some "stats" because they were either not computable anymore or just "in the way". Thus, stats might be missing or wrong.
