XP-Dev.com offers up FREE Subversion Hosting and Project Tracking!

I have been a long time fan of Subversion the version control system. Open Source and free as a bird… I derailed from VSS many moons ago after much pain and agony…

Well, a few months ago I ran into a FREE, that’s right, a FREE and secure online Subversion hosting at XP-DEV.com. Really nice group of folks headed by Roopinder Singh, who offer a full 1.5GB of space to you at absolutely no charge!

They have built out a little Project Tracking tool within the site as well so you can manage your projects in an agile manner, including stories, task items, and even bug tracking.

If you are looking for a free home for your code, but don’t want the whole world to be able to get their hands on it check them out at XP-Dev.com.

Subversion (SVN) is a version control system initiated in 2000 by CollabNet Inc. It is used to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly-compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS).

Subversion is well-known in the open source community and is used on many open source projects, including Apache Software Foundation, KDE, GNOME, Free Pascal, FreeBSD, GCC, Python, Django, Ruby, Mono, SourceForge.net, ExtJS and Tigris.org. Google Code also provides Subversion hosting for their open source projects. BountySource systems use it exclusively. Codeplex offers access to both subversion as well as other types of clients. Subversion is also being adopted in the corporate world. In a 2007 report by Forrester Research, Subversion was recognized as the sole leader in the Standalone Software Configuration Management (SCM) category and a strong performer in the Software Configuration and Change Management (SCCM) category.
