Offset into a single file can be smaller than the size of the whole
disk, after all, so from that point of view, use of off_t in
"humanise_bytes" API may be something we would want to fix
eventually to reduce confusion.
I do not particularly mind casting up to uint64, especially if that
matches the code lifted from scalar. As long as our longer term
plan is to update strbuf_humanise_bytes() to take the widest
possible unsigned integer, what we do right now would not make that
much of a difference.
Thanks.
