This looks nice.

Having a branch activity (as opposed to directory activity) rendering would be nice as well.

I also noticed that this shows the committer's activity. It may be more accurate to use the author (for example, the Wine project only shows activity from one person and with Git, the activity for Junio is similar being its maintainer).

In addition to this, for large projects that span a long time (5 or more years), it would be nice to speed these up (possibly control the rate as a command-line parameter).

Aside from that... very cool.
