Right-clicking various fields in gitk brings up
all sorts of interesting and useful things!

In gitk (in either Unix or Windows) you can only 
copy/paste within the fields that you can highlight.
The include only the SHA1 ID and the Find fields, I
think.  For these, cntl-c  and cntl-v work as 
normal.

In git gui, cntl-c and cntl-v work under Windows,
but under Unix (well, ubuntu - I've not tried any
others) you need to use shift-cntl-c and shift-cntl-v.
Actually, I've just found these work in git gui in
Windows too.
