No file disappears, so -M alone won't cut it.

I think -B -M may do something interesting, but even then, I suspect you
will see a lot of deletions (e.g. you start from two copies of the
original builtin-blame.c and remove different parts to arrive at the new
builtin-blame.c and blame.c) that amounts roughly about the same size as
the original builtin-blame.c itself.
