I have to say the browser is seriously broken if whitespaces
between <tr> and <td>, </td> and next <td>, </td> and </tr>
makes a difference to its behaviour.  Aren't there a way to tell
the browser to cut "visually"?  E.g. "The area I want to cut is
from this data column, and lines from here to there.  I do not
want the leftmost two columns (commit-8 and lineno)".

I do not mind applying this, but that is only because it does
not make its source any less readable.  It does make things
harder to debug if somebody is debugging its output by reading
the generated raw HTML, so it is not like there is no downside.

You might want to run links (or lynx) in screen ;-).  Screen
supports left- (or right-, or both-sides) bounded cut which I
find extremely useful.
