If you do convert them to git, you can fairly easily do an automatic
bisect on build-errors, and the developer can (after some time) get
an email of what machines they broke the code on and what the bad
commit was.
Besides that, it's not a black-and-white scenario. If I were you I'd set
up git-cvsserver and make sure that works for all the scripts, and then
pick one or two auto-build things to convert to git. Preferrably on a
separate machine, so everything keeps working the same as always while
you're fiddling with the auto-build stuff.
Just my two cents.
