This doesn't seem like an intuitive interface to me. I would like `dub dustmite` to work directly inside the source tree by creating a temporary copy of the root directory of a clean git repo checkout (excluding the .git* files) where the dustmite action happens. I wonder if others share my opinion...

What about defaulting `destination-path` to current dub root directory name (without path) positioned alongside root of current dub project with some suitable suffix and counter value similar to `mktemp -d`?

So running dub dustmite inside root of

    path-to-dub-project-root-dir/some-dub-project

will default `destination-dir` to

    path-to-dub-project-root-dir/some-dub-project.reduced-TIMESTAMP
