The 2013 version by comparison wastes horizontal space while surfacing less information. The contrast is worse and there isn't enough to visually distinguish the four (!) rows of headers. Personally, I also find the navigation box on the right to be weirdly sunken into the page and I think the color scheme has been greatly improved.
The sidebar it had seems to waste too much space, though. It's just 5 links meant for navigation. They'd be better arranged horizontally. I can agree that it's clearer than what we had a few days ago, having only 1 navbar instead of 2, but that's also because it has a lot less features than GitHub has now.
