What you're talking about here is what's sometimes called a "two-phase"
commit scheme.  The developer "commits" his code to the revision control
system and then the reviewer "publishes" it into the baseline.

The best freely available tool for implementing this kind of system (and
perhaps one of the better tools all-round for this), is Aegis.  I would
suggest you look at it, even if only for ideas:

You can also do this with BitKeeper, though with slightly different
mechanics.....  <URL:http://www.bitkeeper.com/>
