I am considering using git with submodules to deploy most of our updates to

I wrote a script that converts a git source repository into a redhat
src.rpm. We use it at my $dayjob. How about doing something like
that? After you have a src.rpm you can create rpms that you can
distribute using yum. You are already using rpm which is why I
mention it. Converting a directory of rpm files into a hostable
repository is as simple as `createrepo /path/to/rpms/`.
The git project has a 'make rpm' target in its Makefile that you could
use as an example.
We use rhel so, yes, we use the redhat repo to get rhel patches. Is
that what you mean by "You are already using rpm"? (We do not write our
own rpm's at this time.)
