A bit of self-promotion:

  "Difference between GIT and CVS" on StackOverflow (my answer)
  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/802573/difference-between-git-and-cvs/824241#824241

A blog post I recently found, describing how the workflow changed
rather that the differences between Git and CVS:

  "From CVS to Git, 9 Things I\u2019ve Learned" on EclipseSource blog
  http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2011/06/09/git-lessons-learned/

This article describes how Git could came into being, IMHO quite well
presenting Git philosophy as well:

  "The Git Parable" by Tom Preston-Werner (of GitHub)
  http://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.html


And just FYI, another tool to convert CVS to Git (non-incremental):

  http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/cvs2git.html
