Kevin,

A friend of mine, Devan Goodwin, wrote a tool called tito (
http://github.com/dgoodwin/tito )
which integrates with git and rpm. It can also do a lot of the distcvs
work as well.

http://github.com/dgoodwin/tito/blob/master/README.mkd

It's currently being used by a number of projects:

cobbler - https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/
spacewalk - https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/
candlepin - https://fedorahosted.org/candlepin/
sm-photo-tool - http://github.com/jmrodri/sm-photo-tool

I hope that helps.
