### Please describe the problem.
|
|
|
|
`git annex status` inconsistently uses mebi (SI) and giga (informal) prefixes.
|
|
|
|
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
[[!format txt """

Notice `mebibytes` and `gigabytes`. It is unclear whether those are gigabytes (1000^3) or gibibytes (1024^3).
