If you're looking for a fully distributed VCS that does centralised
checkout workflow very well, look at Bazaar
<URL:http://bazaar-vcs.org/>.

They have a specific tutorial showing how the (entirely optional)
centralised workflow operates
<URL:http://bazaar-vcs.org/Tutorials/CentralizedWorkflow>.

I can recommend it highly for working with people on a project that
doesn't need "distributed" as much as it needs "better than
Subversion"; yet you still get all the benefits of a distributed VCS
:-)
