The "-z" format is all about machine parsability, but showing renamed paths as "common/{a => b}/suffix" makes it impossible. The scripts would never have successfully parsed "--numstat -z -M" in the old format. This fixes the output format in a (hopefully minimally) backward incompatible way. * The output without -z is not changed. This has given a good way for humans to view added and deleted lines separately, and showing the path in combined, shorter way would preserve readability. * The output with -z is unchanged for paths that do not involve renames. Existing scripts that do not pass -M/-C are not affected at all. * The output with -z for a renamed path is shown in a format that can easily be distinguished from an unrenamed path. This is based on Jakub Narebski's patch. Bugs and documentation typos are mine. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
