Showing line and column number in the status line of TortoiseGitMerge

It's not uncommon to make quick changes (fixes) directly in the TortoiseGitMerge window, after issuing the Diff command. For this, it would be very helpful to have the current column number shown in the status bar, in order e.g. to not exceed column 80. For completeness, I suggest to show the line number as well, although that can be shown at the left of the text.
