I know that the -h option outputs file sizes in human-readable format when, for example, displaying the transfer progress with --progress.
But is it possible to get this same file size formatting in the log files? I see options/escapes to display the number of bytes being transferred (%b) and also the total size of the file (%l), but don't see any way to output more human-readable equivalents for these values.

log format This parameter allows you to specify the format used for logging file transfers when transfer logging is enabled. The format is a text string containing embedded single-character escape sequences prefixed with a percent (%) character. An optional numeric field width may also be specified between the percent and the escape letter (e.g. "%-50n %8l %07p"). In addition, one or more apostrophes may be specified prior to a numerical escape to indicate that the numerical value should be made more human-readable. The 3 supported levels are the same as for the --human-readable command-line option, though the default is for human- readability to be off. Each added apostrophe increases the level (e.g. "%''l %'b %f").
