I used to do that (with xclip), but something changed recently in gmail that broke pasting the output, which now gets horribly reformatted unless I copy from the terminal.
I now tried without sucess to set the diff.statGraphWidth git-config variable. I'll probably just use "git request-pull ... |cat" in the future. I've done that in the past, but had not realized that I'm currently causing the bad line breaks.
