-* ap/strbuf-humanize (2013-04-10) 2 commits
-  (merged to 'next' on 2013-04-14 at 66d7af5)
- + count-objects: add -H option to humanize sizes
- + strbuf: create strbuf_humanise_bytes() to show byte sizes
-
- Teach "--human-readable" aka "-H" option to "git count-objects" to
- show various large numbers in Ki/Mi/GiB scaled as necessary.
-
- I've decided to let this topic supersede mc/count-objects-kibibytes.
- Human users will get an even easier output with "-H" and by not
- changing the output without an explicit option we do not have to
- break third-party tools that may have been reading from the output
- of this command.
