Since the repo screen is now basically full width, why not add a simple commit stream on the left? (So make it three columns instead of two). The most important thing I look for when checking out a repo, is how much commit activity there is and what sort of things are being worked on. It gives you a good sense of the health of the project.
So in the middle you have the files, and the action buttons above that, on the right you have info on langs, the contributors, the "About" blurb, but on the left you could put a (live updating?) commit stream with just a small contributor pic and name, hash, time stamp (x days ago), and the first bit of the commit message.
EDIT: Instead of just a commit stream, why not add a "repo feed" on the left? Includes new issues, PRs, commits, etc. Live updates (animates new ones bumping into the top).
