Beautify the Git commit hash (have a look at the commit hashes on the right)

While the beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, for X11 based systems this is actually a step back.

I used to be able to highlight and paste the hashes, now the hash string is "hidden" inside a button where text link would do. Sure, as an ugly, kludgy workaround there is the flash-based "copy to clipboard" button, but that only works with ctrl-v pasting, not the middle mouse button. Good luck pasting that into an xterm. So it's either copy-type or click on the link and find the sha in text form on the resulting page.

I found myself using git log a lot more frequently during the past few days.

It's referring the the hashes themselves (0001..., 0002..., 0003...), not the html/css GitHub uses.

OP didn't mean GitHub changes, but "beautiful" commit ids (0001..., 0002..., 0003..., etc).

Try Ctrl-Shift-V.

like everyone else said, the link's not about the UI. But on that subject, autocutsel (http://www.nongnu.org/autocutsel/) can keep all of your X11 clipboards synchronized, so that anything copied to the clipboard can be MMB pasted, and anything selected with the LMB can be Ctrl-V pasted.
