Description

Hi, sometimes I need to copy a tag or branch name, rather than copying the commit SHA.

At the moment I can see only the "Copy" button, that will copy the full SHA. But I can't find any way to copy the name of a tag, or a branch name.

I don't think additional buttons are necessary; would be enough if the tags/branch names would be selectable text; or if there would be a context menu with an option to "Copy tag", when right-clicking on the name. Unfortunately at the moment tag names are labels but one cannot simply select&copy their name like normal text.

The use case is about having to copy the names of tags/branches & paste them into a shell command.

... or maybe is already possible but I'm missing something obvious 😄
