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.

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

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

like everyone else said, the link's not about the UI. But on that subject, autocutsel (http://www.nongnu.org/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.
