Git is distributed version control system only (following UNIX philosophy "Write programs that *do one thing* and *do it well*").

If you want/need *integrated solution* covering whole Software Configuration Life Cycle Management, there are tools that come to my mind:
1. Gerrit[1], a web-based collaborative code review tool for Git, which uses Git for version control. It is used by Google for development of Android platform. Open source (Apache license).
2. Kiln[2], from Fog Creek, with integrated code review and FogBugz integration (a web-based project management tool), which uses Mercurial (other DVCS) for version control. IIRC proprietary.
3. There is Launchpad[3], which uses Bazaar for version control. Used by Ubuntu. Open source (AGPLv3).
GitHub offers paid plans, and also hosted GitHub:FI; it includes issue tracker and a kind of code review. Similar opensource solution include Gitorious and InDefero.
