Re: [PATCH 4/3] --dirstat: In case of renames, use target filename instead of source filename

This changes --dirstat analysis to count "damage" toward the target filename,

matter to the final output, but when moving files between diretories, the

Ack. I think the use of the source filename was actually a bug.

The original dirstat code used the "struct diffstat_file_t *" pointer,
and took the name from the ->name field of that. And that actually
defaults to the target name (see diffstat_add()). But then commit
c04a7155a03e changed it to use "struct dirstat_file" and picked the
name for that from the source.
