Sure, I'd be happy to see the git commands.

Also, I just discovered an interesting project called TimeMap that  
could possibly take HTML::Timeline to the next level.  Imagine that  
below the timeline of the people in your GEDCOM file there were a  
map.  And when you click on an event in the timeline (a birth, death,  
marriage, etc.), the maps zooms to the place associated with the event  
(like you see with a lot of Google Maps mashups).

Here's the TimeMap homepage:
http://code.google.com/p/timemap

Unfortunately, the demos linked from the site are a little flaky for  
me, but the examples in this tarball seem to work well: http://timemap.googlecode.com/files/timemap.1.1.tar.gz

Try scrolling the timeline in timemap.1.1/examples/artists.html back  
and forth and imagine you were watching your ancestors migrate all  
over the place.  Neat stuff.  We've got the data in our GEDCOM files.   
It's just a matter of exporting it correctly.
