### Please describe the problem.
`git annex status` inconsistently uses mebi (SI) and giga (informal) prefixes.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Example:
[[!format txt """
anarcat@marcos:mp3$ git annex status

Notice `mebibytes` and `gigabytes`. It is unclear whether those are gigabytes (1000^3) or gibibytes (1024^3).
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
4.20130802~bpo70+2, Debian wheezy.
### Please provide any additional information below.
