It's not clear exactly what you want. If you want the CVS workflow (with all of its downsides), then just use "git pull; hack hack hack; git push" all on the master branch. If you are going to preserve the workflow of CVS, then you're also going to preserve all of the downsides of CVS. If you aren't willing to make the users learn anything new, then what's the point?

And if you are willing to make the users change their behaviour a somewhat -- how much change are you willing to make them deviate from the CVS workflow, and how much smarts are you willing to assume that they have?
