Why was it necessary to bundle the _MACOSX and .DS_Store files with the zip download? I rarely see zip files with thumbs.db or desktop.ini files in them.
I find it kind of disarming to overload not-typically-overloaded events like this though. I wonder if it'd be possible to let the right-click menu appear as normal, but background a div that pops up and give you the option of downloading the nicer logo files?

The actual logo that is being displayed looks like it is suffering from being shrunk down too much from a bigger image.
It is. In a presentation at Superconf, one of the Github designers (whose name escapes me) said that they serve some images at high resolution and resize in the HTML tags for the benefit of iPhones 4 and other high-dpi devices.

Can't this be handled with multiple stylesheets?
This is a bad idea. It was a bad idea when paranoid sites did it to try and stop people from stealing their images and it is still a bad idea when trying to be helpful. There is a wide variety of behavior accessed through right click beyond save as.
Personally, I think it's a great little addition to a website.

We do it with most other images, too.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that delightful bit of UX was Kyle Neath's idea and execution.
