I am going to be starting a hobby project with a friend, but we'll need some (free) way to organize and store tasks, bugs, etc. What tool do you recommend to do this? can something stored through an SVN server work? (Offline would be best)

It's not an offline solution but you could getting a JIRA Personal edition license which is free.
It does all the above and it also integrates well with version control such as SVN/GIT (you can link tasks/bugs to commits)

Looks good but they have discontinued the personal edition in favor of a "Starter" edition, which costs 10 bucks. Certainly looks worth it, but i'd like to hear about other ones first.

and it does have a suitable offline version :)

GitHub has an issue tracking system. No need to configure anything, and should be good enough for hobby projects.

I've never used it, but Redmine is available; it may be overkill, though.

Seeing as i'd have to install half a dozen other things, yeah. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Versioned Artifacts stores data in version control. It's free if your project is open-source.

unfortunately my friend has stated that he doen't like them for collaboration as there's no sort of modification safety like in version control systems.
