There is a feature request for diff-hl: to indicate the VCS status of
different lines by using the colors of the line numbers, instead of
fringe or margin indicators.

(https://github.com/dgutov/diff-hl/issues/124)

I think this is not possible yet, but if there was a hook to choose how
a number is displayed, I'd be able to use it.
