En github funciona muy muy bien el mecanismo, lo vengo usando bastante. El análisis, comprensión y diálogo que se genera a partir de los pull requests (y los reviews implícitos que esto produce, sumado a que la herramienta es muy muy buena, permitiendo cosas como poder poner comentarios y responderlos directamente en las lineas de código) son sumamente beneficiosos, ágiles y los resultados son muy buenos. Nosotros, localmente, venimos trabajando de manera similar a lo que se propone (y se acostumbra en github), tenemos branches por temas y se hace review y refactoring de las mismas antes de mergear al tronco de avance. Obviamente en este caso se extrañan MUCHO las herramientas de comunicación que provee github y que NO tenemos localmente.
