Surely this starts to fail if a series of commits hits more than 26 files, which is inevitable in a large codebase?

Technically, 10 + 26 + 26 = 62 files, since it uses string.ascii_letters and chains on digits.
The characters cycle (wrap-around), but since you have the columns intact that shouldn't be an issue... :)
Actually, there was a bug there, but now it's fixed.
