You just gave me a reason to rebuild urxvt with perl support. It solves my problem with SHA-1 nicely (and fixes another problem with very large counter in my approach, when you scroll git-log further down, because I can't know what's on screen or already scrolled past).

Do you think it should be in contrib for better discoverability (than burying it in the mail archive)? A separate git repo is also ok, but I guess that's just more burden.
