Currently the output at the end of an emerge --sync (produced by rsync's --stats option) is usually hard to read. Therefore I propose to add --human-readable (-h) to PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS, to improve the readability of such stats. This option was introduced in rsync version 2.6.7, released on Mar 11, 2006.

[ from rsync's man page ]
-h, --human-readable
Output numbers in a more human-readable format.  This makes big numbers output using larger units, with a K, M, or G  suffix.   If  this  option  was specified once,  these units are K (1000), M (1000*1000), and G (1000*1000*1000); if the option is repeated, the units are powers of 1024 instead of 1000.
