free subversion host

A while back I was looking for a free subversion host, and I wasn't able to find a whole lot. I had thought about setting up a server on one of my own machines at home, but part of the reason for using a remote host (outside of me not having to hassle with setting it up) was that I wanted it to be offsite so that I didn't have to worry about my clunky old hardware going toes-up and taking out my source code with it. The last time I looked I found cvsdude, which works well but only gives you 2 megs of space for free. Tonight I looked again, and I found unfuddle, which offers free account users 200 megs of space, a vast improvement over 2!

I just started using unfuddle, and I haven't used cvsdude much at all because of the space limitations, so I can't offer a comparison yet. unfuddle is looking better because of the additional space alone, but they also offer a set of project managment tools that might come in handy.

If you love subversion, you'll love having a free offsite host. If you don't love subversion, it just means you haven't used it yet; once you do you'll never want to use anything else. Get yourself the tortoisesvn client and enjoy.
