rsync - Feb 2009 - --human-readable and --out-format %l

Concerning rsync 3.0.5 on Fedora 10:

The improved readability of --stats when --human-readable is specified is
great, but  --human-readable does not seem to effect the %l format type for
--out-format. Is there an alternative format type that lists the file length
in a human readable format, perhaps optionally if --human-readable is
specified?

thank you

No, nothing like that currently exists.  The master branch in git (that
will become 3.1.0) currently outputs log numbers with comma groupings,
but it would be much better to only do that if the user requests such a
thing.

The attached patch adds an apostrophe modifier to log escapes that lets
the user request numerical grouping, human-readable units of 1000, or
human-readable units of 1024; e.g. "%''l".  The patch will not
work with
3.0.x, though.
