Git has you covered there - it works better than other version control 
systems for that model too.  I do it all the time; the only difference 
is that with git it's not the tool doesn't force the choice on you.

If you want a central repo, just make one - designate one repository as 
central, put it in the .git/config file for each of the others and away 
you go.  Pretend it's centralised if you want; you and your colleagues 
need never know otherwise.

What's even better is that everything will also work faster, take less 
diskspace and be heavily backed up just by everyone doing their normal 
work.
