Nice! Yeah that's along the lines I was thinking. There have been attempts at visualizations, like I remember clearcase had one that was probably pretty advanced 30 years ago.
I think it's very doable without any serious R&D, and you could build it on top of git/maybe github. The real question to me is: is it worth the effort, and would anyone actually pay for it.
People pay for tower and kaleidoscope so I assume it's possible. I think this is totally something GitHub should make but they seem to be focussing on other things.

Ideally, I think you'd want it integrated with your text editor and it should be useful not only for code, but more general composition (I'm thinking scientific literature) as well. Of course, getting this to work in real-time with your collaborators is probably the holy grail and has been implemented to some extent over the years in quite a few products.
