As for web browsing the history, our project was quickly convinced gitweb is a lot better than cvsweb. We are starting to get use to basic git. One developer works on CVS. This is a bit handicapped, but workable after a few patches to git-shell and git-cvsserver.

In another project I use git-cvsserver to do the Windows builds. All development except for minor typos and compatibility things is done on linux and cvs <-> git works just fine for that model.
