Allow live real-time updates

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be great if gource could act in "server mode" and listen for
events on a pipe or a socket. It would start by playing the log but when
the log ends, it would wait for further log lines to arrive over the
pipe/socket. This would allow for real-time or near-real-time display of
VCS events.

It would also be useful if this feature would be combined with allowing the
original log to be empty, so you could just start it as a server and have
something else feed events.

You can kind of do this now by making a script that implements a service
functionality and prints gource format entries to stdout. ie:

gource-service.pl | gource --log-format custom -

For Gource to do this directly I guess the way to go would be to make a 
subclass of
BaseLog which listens on a specified port.

+1 for real-time monitoring... it'd be awesome to have this on a HDTV in a 
common
area, and be able to see your teammates commit realtime :)

This'd be really cool to have. I'm going to give your service suggestion a go 
when I have some time.
