Two cents from someone that uses git at work for projects:
If CVS is working for you, don't change. It's painful to change to
the new mindset that git gives you. Unless you need the ability to
keep seperate branches and merge them for free, the pain probably
isn't worth it.
rsyncing of homedirs can slow down a little because of the number of
files that will need to be stat'ed in the case of a mostly synced
directory tree.
However, git's compression is amazing, due largely to the way it packs
filesystem objects. The Linux 2.6 git objects take about 200MiB,
which is less than the actual checked out source.
Branches and tags are nearly free in terms of diskspace, as they are
just objects that reference other objects.

People typically complains about CVS slowness at doing checkouts,
diff, and merge operations. git is extremely fast at these - it's
typically done as fast as your shell can return the prompt. Granted,
if you're not merging disparate branches 50 times a day, this
makes no difference.
