'Playing' Versioned Source Repositories

So Etherpad (that collaborative editing web-app that was closed source, got real popular at one point, closed shop, was cloned into 'PiratePad', then the original acquired and open-sourced by Apache) has this feature called 'Timeslider', which allows one to watch the progression of the document edit-by-edit from inception to the current state.

Is there a way to do this for Git (for example, through Github) or other source control softwares? Of course, instead of 'document' it would be 'repository'.

Look at gitk, unless you're actually looking for an animation of the tree of files and directories over time. Though tk might be a good choice for doing that, too, if Ben Bederson's Pad++ is still working.

Magit for Emacs should come close to this. It can control git to apply patch sets, e.g. in time order. Of course, most developers will commit working code changes, not all the details of their edits. The deltas will be batch edits, not keystroke by keystroke, or line by line. But it will highlight the diffs in context.
