[ajug-members] Free Subversion Hosting suggestions?

[James Mitchell]

I agree.  After having svn issues with my site hosting provider, I  
moved my svn repositories to my local box (as Rob suggests) and now I  
can develop locally (even offline) and do everything I need to do.

The biggest thing I noticed is that I now commit more often.  And  
since I'm also using CruiseControl, all of my tests are run  
automatically with every commit.  Add in the integration with the  
Growl notifier and life gets suddenly easier as you work locally on  
your projects.

Since these are client applications, daily backups are critical, so I  
use a nightly backup (OS/X Backup) to an external drive.
