Personally, I'd be tempted to write Git for Word as a plugin that Just Worked. Users are given a new interface (The Document Repository?) from whence to select documents. Every auto-save is a commit. Enforce "explaining why" by ... what, requiring an in-document comment near the changes? A popup asking for explanation, and that's added as a commit message?

I don't know, I'm just spitballing. Sounds like it'd be fun for awhile to attempt to seamlessly get this into the workflow and see how it's accepted.
