It's just a damn shame that the '-h' flag is already taken, otherwise we
could be like 'df' and use -h for base-2 units and -H for base-10 units,
whereas now it's -H for base-2 units ... if anyone has any bright ideas
for fixing this omission, please say so.
I'd though about adding a --base-10 flag, so '-H' is base-2 units and
'-H --base-10' would use base-10 units. I do think that the default
should be base-2, because users are probably more used to thinking that
way. Well, at least programmers are, and they are, after all, the main
users of version control.
Ah, right: r1847422 fixes a silly bug in the number scaling, but more
importantly it changes the number formatting to use the locale-specific
decimal separator, to make it consistent with the locale-specific date
abbreviation:
$ env LC_ALL="it_IT.UTF-8" svn ls -vH
