Then let's universally underline absolutely _every_ link in gitweb
which is clickable, regardless of where it appears, the font, typeset
and size.

Who will be my hero and submit that patch?  I'll surely commit it
and make the people happy.

Let's see:

Each line which starts with a "d" also has some kind of underlined
text in the second column.

Each line which starts with a "-" has text which is not underlined
in the second column.

Which implies a connection between the "d" and the property of
underlining.

Unless you have "a priori" knowlege of "underline means clickable" there
is no chance of thinking that "not-underlined means not-clickable".
