I've successfully deployed SmartGit to none-too-bright and non-technical users, and to some none-too-bright-non-technical users. Takes about 15 minutes to do the installation, set up the account, and demonstrate the sync-work-commit-sync cycle:

Sync: click a button.
Work: same as always.
Commit: click a button, type his initials, click "ok".
Sync: click a button.

Sure, 98% of Git's capabilities are ignored.  So what?  He gets his tool and you get your SSH.  Everyone wins.
