The CVS version now has the options --human-readable (-m) and --si to
implement more human-reable output in the --stats and the end-of-run
summary.  Anyone wanting to be able to use -h instead of -m (to make the
option more like du/df/ls) may define a popt alias in their ~/.popt
file:

rsync alias -h -m
