Hi Daniel, The first thing for you to decide is whether Git is really what you need. It sounds like you are trying to squeeze a distributed version control system into a centralised development process. If this is so, then you should really consider using a centralised version control system such as svn.
As with previous discussions on this list about which CMS is best, which code editor is best, the truth is it is about picking the tool that best helps you to do the job that you want to do at that time. Distributed version control is great if you are working in a distributed development process. Think of the linux kernel. Where is the central repository, Linus' tree?, Amdrew Morton's 2.6 tree?, Greg Kroah-Hartman's stable kernel tree? The fact is that there isn't a centralised tree, hence the need for a distributed version control system. Its also very useful if members of your team spend a lot of time not connected to the central repository, so they can make commits to their local tree and then push them up to the centre later.
