+Enhancement: Parallelize scan of snapshot content in copy and prune
+
+The copy and the prune commands used to traverse the directories of
+snapshots one by one to find used data. This snapshot traversal is
+now parallized which can speed up this step several times.
+
+In addition the check command now reports how many snapshots have
+already been processed.
