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.
