CVCSs are commonly used for monorepos and large repositories. The most popular FOSS option is Subversion, although it may not be favored by all programmers and users. Perforce is another option, but it is a proprietary system.

What is it you need that a centralized version control system offers that a distributed version control system doesn’t? For instance you could use git or pijul for a monorepo.

Ability to clone only certain parts of a repo. Git has shallow and partial clones, but they don’t feel like the right tool for large/mono repos.
