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.
