Subject: [haiku] Visualization of activity on the Haiku git repository using 
Gource

I saw kallisti5 accidentally post a screenshot in #haiku of him
playing around with Gource and after testing it out on a friend's
little bot repo, I decided to throw at it the awesome might of the
Haiku repo.

After a lot of work I think the result looks pretty good so far...
there is still a nasty flickering bug you'll notice intermittently,
and I didn't want to spend too much time trying to track down photos
of people to add more avatars... and I'm not sure I was supposed to
use the Haiku logo in the corner?

But I figured if I could get that flicker bug figured out, and get
more developer pictures for the little avatars, I would go ahead and
render a nice 1080p hi-res version (maybe even with a soundtrack
fitting the flurry of activity.)

One other feature that humdinger brought up that would be really nice
is the ability to have the folder names hidden unless accessed, like
the way the filenames currently are. I looked but didn't see any way
to do that without modifying the gource code myself, which I'm afraid
is a bit beyond my abilities at this point. :/ I either have to show
them all the time or not at all. (The tree looks prettier without the
labels, but less informative.)

(Fredrik "thq" Holmqvist did one a few years back as well using a
different software and style: http://www.vimeo.com/1393242 )
