I'm in Georgia at the moment - working, and it's completely safe (well, except for the standard of driving which is abyssmal!)
Even if you wanted to drive into the Russian Buffer Zone or into South Ossetia you would be stopped at the Russian Check-points & politely turned away. If you are transiting through Georgia then you wouldn't even know that there had been a problem.
But watch out for the herds of cows which wander over the main roads - people don't do fences here much... and in towns, watch out for all the BMW X5s and Hummers being driven by teenagers - almost every car has front-end damage - after a few days you can see why!
I went up into the mountains a few days ago - beautiful place, and excellent wine to be bought from family vineyards!
