In my mind, there are two (fairly small) pieces of the puzzle missing: 1) A notebook clean-up script, so that the repository stores text-only diffs (unless you don't mind storing binary blobs of the plots). 2) A way of executing .ipynb files from the terminal, without firing up a browser. The nbconvert tools also need a little bit of fine-tuning still, but they produce satisfactory output already. None of these changes are prohibitive, though.
