It shows the changes through a series of text documents by animated
transitions from one version to the next.  For instance if I insert a
word into a sentence, you will see the existing words slide apart to
make room as the new word appears.  It would be a bit interesting to
do this within loggerhead, though I think their existing approach is
more tuned for prose than code, and I would not say it's the highest
priority for Canonical developers.
