You might want to look at Gerrit Code Review [1].  It has
out-of-the-box support for integration with Active Directory.

Gerrit Code Review uses a web based administration interface, though
with an LDAP/Active Directory configuration access controls will
most likely be managed in the directory server by user membership
to groups.

Yup, Gerrit Code Review can do that.

It also can be used as a code review system.  :-) But if you don't
want to use the code review features, you can just grant out the
Push Branch +1 (or +2 or +3) permission to allow pushing to a branch.
 

A different, but much more popular choice is gitosis [2], but that
doesn't use LDAP for user authentication and access management.
It uses its own SSH key repository.  To be fair, Gerrit Code Review
also uses its own SSH key repository... but users can manage their
keys individually through the web interface, which is authenticated
by LDAP.
