All the hippies are using GitHub (me included), but with free private hosting, I'm going to try Assembla out. Good move, Assembla.

Why the hippies? IMO, Github is a really useful tool.

By "hippies" I presume s/he meant people working on open source.

This is the only way they will get users from GitHub.

I'd really love to move to Assembla but the packages are a bit strange, starts 40 users and 1 repo? I carn't see many projects having 40 users and only one project at a time, I did ask if I could sacrifice some users for repo's, we work with smaller teams so 10 repo's and 10 users but they declined.

The pay as you go is great until you realise you have to pay for each member of the team and each project, so if I work on two 'spaces' I'm classed as two separate users... it soon gets expensive

Like justinchen said they already offered free SVN and GIT hosting. Then one day they sent out newsletter saying that they're not providing free hosting anymore and that all repositories will be made public. I had to move all my projects to another repository and promised myself never to go back. I don't trust them, sorry!

For 6 usd/month, unlimited git and svn, trac and webdav and automatic backups, I'm a happy RepositoryHosting ( http://repositoryhosting.com/ ) user.

Came here to say this, we also use repository hosting and love them. Can't beat the price.

Have also used Unfuddle when working with other shops. Its nice too, and has some Basecamp-esque features if you want something beyond trac.

Goodbye to Github. Goodbye to the private Git repo on my VPS!

SmartGit comes to mind, but what are you guys using ?

Assembla is great. The only reason that I stopped using them is because they stopped offering free services. Glad to see that it is back

As an Assembla user I fear they are not focusing on their core product. They have some weak areas in Assembla I wish they would focus on instead of reinventing the wheel.
