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

Good move, Assembla.

I could have sworn their accounts used to be free and then they took away the free accounts in 2008. http://blog.assembla.com/assemblablog/tabid/12618/bid/7019/N...

I remember because we were using assembla for some stuff and then moved away when they started charging. I guess that move didn't work too well for them.

This is a good reason not to use assembla ever again. The same thing happened to me.

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

I used assembla when they had the free private accounts, since then I moved to Unfuddle. I don't like companies that do yo-yo on their policy.

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

Unfuddle has been doing this for a while.

Unfuddle's free accounts only allow 1 project and 2 users. Which is a bummer, because I really liked Unfuddle's interface, but I'm not gonna commit to a monthly service until we actually have revenue. :-(

And unfuddle only allocates 200mb, which is easy to hit pretty quick. Looks like assembla is offering 2gb, but none of the ticketing tools or other services... Unfuddle does those things really well on the free account.

Aint competition a grand thing? :)
