Description

It's not 100% clear whether all the sizes reported by the tool are in bytes or kB.

Maybe the generated analysis output text files could include units e.g. === All extensions by reverse size ===

  • Format: unpacked size, packed size, date deleted, extension name
  • Format: unpacked size bytes, packed size bytes, date deleted, extension name

Research direction
Locate the code that prints the analysis output (e.g., in git filter repo.py or similar). The format string currently lacks units; add ' bytes' after unpacked size and packed size values. Check the issue comments for any additional context.
