Sign-off?

I think the cache is placed at the wrong level (it doesn't have to be a
GRavatar_url_cache, but can be a general avatar_url_cache).

IOW,

	our %avatar_url_cache = ();
        sub git_get_avatar {
        	...
                my $url;
                if (!exists $avatar_url_cache{$email}) {
                	if ($git_gravatar_enabled) {
                        	$url = ... gravatar stuff ...;
			} else if ($git_whatever_enabled) {
                        	$url = ... other stuff ...;
			}
                        $avatar_url_cache{$email} = $url;
		}
                $url = $avatar_url_cache{$email};
                if (defined $url) {
                	return ... prefix then $url then suffix ...;
                } else {
                	return "";
                }
	}

But the basic idea is sound, I think.
