Wanted: Free subversion hosting

Post by Roja »

I have a few game projects hosted - some at sourceforge, some at berlios.

The service at berlios.de is insanely great - fast, reliable, fantastic.

The differences between CVS and SVN are night and day, and I won't go back to CVS. SVN is simply too much of an improvement.

Unfortunately, berlios cannot accept more game projects for hosting at this time, and sourceforge does not yet offer Subversion (I have been chosen for the beta team for it, but there is no date yet).

So, I need to find free subversion hosting. I have some specific needs:

- Reliable
- Fast
- SVN (obviously) support
- WebSVN

Anything beyond that would be nice.

I've gone through numerous lists of SVN providers, so please don't point to said lists - please only mention *confirmed* providers that will provide free hosting for opensource game projects.

Any ideas are welcome, as I'm running out of possibilities. I'd really rather not pay for SVN hosting out of pocket for multiple projects.. it gets expensive fast.

Let's keep the thread on-topic like Roja asked.

Subversion as in, before a release version. CVS not CV. CVS is a way of monitoring change in code as you develop something... I've never implemented it though. OK do that in another thread if you want to discuss it. I think Roja was after a clean discuussion on ideal hosting solutions here ;)

CVS is a version control system. It lets you work collaboratively with other developers on a project. Think of it as a check-in/check-out code system.

Subversion is CVS on crack, steroids, and an intense training regiment. It does (almost) everything that CVS does, but better, and does more. Its insanely great.

So - its a way to store code and work interactively with other developers. Most opensource projects use one or the other. I'm trying to move from CVS to SVN on all my projects, but I need hosting that provides Subversion support (for free, for opensource game projects).

subversion is definately a bad ass tool, but it is a pain in the ASS to work with... we're using it here at work... well, sorta lol.. we've attempted it, but slowly but surely just started saying "ehh, yeah i forgot to use it" to evoid the bugs and continous manual updates...

but overall, subversion ROCKS if you know what you are doing.
