Git is flexible, and you can implement policy on it
(including making it act like a centralized revision
control system) using hooks.  There's also a really
useful-looking code review system, called gerrit,
which a lot of Android dev organizations are using:

The weak point of git currently is large blob support,
so beware if you want to keep giant images or other
binaries under revision control.
