FREE subversion/git repository hosts for private use.

I was wondering could anyone recommend a FREE hosting provider for subversion or git usage? A couple that have stood out to me have been www.assembla.com and www.cloudforge.com. I know sourceforge and github are two very powerful sites, but this is for private use only and not the public domain.

Try bitbucket.org.

Oh awesome. I thought this was just for open source projects, never thought to re-check it. Thanks, as I am only looking at a couple of users accessing the repo.

Edit: I would prefer svn, but I know git is probably something I should transition to.

Git is awesome. You can also use svn with git, kinda. Check out the "git svn" command.

Will do.

I will use TortoiseGit by the way, as I have been using TortoiseSVN for a couple of years now.

With Git you don't even need a hosting provider: http://www.git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Basi ... Repository

Having used both VCSs, I prefer Subversion myself. Among other things, it's nice that commits have sequential numbers instead of SHA-1 hashes.

True, but a hosting provider is good for a backup and there's that phenomenon of social coding via pull requests.

I am looking at doing a collaboration with a couple of people and you know I don't won't to fork out for a dedicated cloud server with svn until we have got the ball rolling.
