Abusing git to track changes frame by frame and play it back checkout by checkout

Python

Git powered video player

Imagine...if all you had to do to watch a movie was clone a repo.

Checkout to release to see the final version of the movie.
Checkout to develop to see the director's cut :P
Watch a movie Bandersnatch style by checking out to different trees in the history
Watch bloopers in bugfix/reverted-some-changes

Well all that hasn't happened yet, what you see here is just the first step

Starting with the first frame of the movie, each new frame is a commit in the repository.

This is the end result of git checkout-ing very fast through all the frames
