Drupal 7 module upgrade features and Git

I confess I don't know enough about either CVS or Git to meaningfully discuss the migration. I've been reading through materials and have yet to find answers to my questions, from the perspective of a drupal user not maintaining modules. Perhaps someone here could help me out?:

1) Will the change to git change the ways I interact with modules and themes? Will I still download material as I have done with CVS? Will I still be able to use the Drupal7 procedure of simply pointing to a tarball link in order to install modules/themes?
2) Will the change to git change the way my drupal installation keeps me informed about updates?
3) Will my super-cool, Drupal 7 automated module/theme upgrade procedure still work with git?

Thanks!
