So my coworkers are mathematicians, and not all of them are comfortable with dvcs, and I already have a hard time convincing them to use git rather than dropbox. I take it upon myself to make it as easy as possible to use git (by telling them to push to a different branch when there is a conflict so that I can handle the conflict myself).

I don't think Gerrit is a solution there...
