The patch seems to be fine but I don't think I agree with the intention
here. Currently clicking anywhere that is not marked as a link (blue
underlined text) selects a commit and shows information in the lower
pane. With this change, the left hand columns become inactive in regards
to selecting a commit. I don't see why that is desirable.
