The server would need to open up a socket and send out some sort of
notification to whoever is listening whenever a new diff is ready.

I imagine might even be an intermediate server application that listens to
that notification, grabs the diff, and creates the pseudo-stream for others.
This way, the pseudo-stream would be delayed by N+60 seconds, where N is the
number of seconds it took to create/post/notify/download the diff. That's
pretty darn good.
