I have no technical points, other than a hearty approval of this move.
git is stable, well used, and far more efficient than equivalent
source control versions. There are many reasons, which I won't go
into here (but a quick search on the net will tell you why).
Also there are many, many transition guides for CVS users, one example
of which is here:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/v1.4.4.4/cvs-migration.html
That's not definitive, but an example.
Anyway I look forward to the transition. And thanks for doing this.
Cheers,
Phil
