It's a bit more convenient, but svn plus private repositories, or SVK, or git-svn work equally well. Again, I'm not saying git isn't more convenient - it is; the point is that even git-using projects end up with a "main repository" to which only a small number of people can commit. Increasing the number of people with commit rights can be useful even when using git.
