I think that is just entirely a different mode of operation. I do not think it is wrong to have an alternative implementation of the dirstat damage counter that is based on numstat code. It may end up counting the damage slower than the current code, and more importantly it will count a different kind of damage than the current code does, so we may probably want to make it an optional feature.
