@andrew: It's a very topical question as Git was a big topic at CakeFest this year. If you ever have designs on contributing to CakePHP and the many apps and plugins that are being developed around it then Git is certainly the way to go as that's what the core team use.
You need to setup a central machine on your network as a remote repo where you your group can individually clone/pull/branch and then push updates back into the one central 'master'. Just yesterday I installed git-ftp which then allows you to ftp from the git bash only those files that have changed rather than uploading the whole app again or manually trying to work out which files were changed since the last upload.
