That is the plan[*1*]. Nevertheless always using destination filename for "ordinary" numstat is a step in good direction. I don't think that would break _any_ scripts (as previous version was not good to be parsed by a machine); I think it is even more probable that old version _broke_ scripts if -M / -C was provided.
