You'd have to keep a checked out working copy of the repos. This can
get very bulky, *VERY* fast, if you have a lot of releases or
autobuild branches, but it's an effective way to keep the code
legible. It can be updated as part of a "post-commit" procedure on the
server, but it can be slow, so I'd actually recommend a cron job, and
there's always a chance it might be in the process of updating when
you look at it. But it's often very effective for providing a place to
review the basic source tree.
