Can people recommend an good free online SVN repository?

I found OpenSVN.csie.org but the message in red is a bit scary.

+3  A: 

Google Code has SVN support.

Of course, all code checked-in can be viewed by the world, so forget doing closed source projects.

That said, if your project is open-source, it's the business; I've found it to be a very high quality project management system.

Can't beat Google Code. +1

I agree that Google Code is a good service, but the title specifically says "private."
Steve Johnson
But not private.
Pete Montgomery
Also not accessible if you live in or are likely to work from Syria, Cuba and a bunch of other places.

Free online PRIVATE svn, what part didn't you understand?
davidnr
I don't understand why you posted when you had nothing to add.

the OP asked for a private svn

I think Berlios has been around for a while

epatel
is it private ?
xxxxxxx
Think it's for Open Source projects. I wouldn't recommend placing any private code on a free service.

I like Assembla. It has svn hosting as well as Trac for wiki documentation and bug tracking. The free workspace is good for most projects, but you can pay for more space if you need.

Update: Assembla is not free for private repositories any more. It is very cheap, but not free. They still offer free SVN hosting, but only for publicly viewable repositories.

Update: Assembla now offers free private repositories http://www.assembla.com/catalog/tag/free

I have used Assembla with great success for real world projects for my clients - the projects are small enough that I don't have to pay and Assembla does not require you to allow anyone else to see your code. I also use it for personal projects and absolutely love it. +1
Jason Bunting
This looks like an interesting site. I have signed up to check it out.
Mike Wills
I agree, with Mike, thanks for the link
elmarco
However the free private repos come without Trac or any other goodies.

I personally have no complaints with Beanstalk. Simple and free.

kamens
I've had good luck with Beanstalk as well...
Dscoduc
BeanStalk is cool and you get 100MB for free
A9S6
is there any other service that offers all beanstalkapp functionalities with more storage space?
CuriousTiger
BeanStalk also gives private svn repository. Thanks
Firstthumb
BeanStalk is very nice, i am using its free version, and it works more than perfect.

Good old sourceforge.net seems to have SVN (beside CVS).

http://www.devjavu.com is really nice as well.

Patrick Veverka
As of November 2nd, devjavu has closed their free plan.

How about CodePlex - Open Source Project Hosting

Sameer Alibhai
codeplex isn't technically subversion hosting. It uses Team Foundation Server for version control. It does use SvnBridge to allow you to use subversion clients to access the repository, but it isn't incredibly straight forward.
NerdFury

I may be a homer with this but I just wouldn't trust it if its free and not an open source project.

Jake Hackl
I didn't see areasonm for the down-wote, hence +1
Mohit Nanda
I would see why, -1. Gmail is free and not open source, yet I trust it and so do millions of others.
DMan
In the functional sense I get you but then again you aren't able to see Gmail's codebase. That's all I meant; if your code isn't meant for free public use and consumption then you should protect it with your choice of repository.

A: 

Is there anyway to dump an SVN tree to a new repository?
Otherwise once you have started committing to one of these you are pretty much stuck when they go bust or increase their prices or whatever?

edit. There is a way of copying a remote repository using svnadmin dump and import it into a new repository with svnadmin load.
There is also a remote svn dump utility but I haven't used it.

Martin Beckett
You can always export/checkout from svn and then import/add files into another repository, so you wouldn't be locked to one provider.
Andy
If you do this, then you lose your revisions.Which is one of the reason for a SVN.
Tao Zhyn
Great point Tao. Do you have any suggestions on how to move a repository from one provider to another *and* keep the revisions?
Mark
The svnsync tool will allow you to make a local mirror of a remote repository, including all history. You can then dump using svnadmin and load the resulting file elsewhere.

Unfuddle has a free plan and if you want more, you can pay ;-)

http://unfuddle.com/

Johan
I recently switched from DevGuard.com to Unfuddle.com. I have a pay account on both, but Unfuddle has a free plan and some great tools in addition to Subversion and Git repositories.
spilth
unfuddle looks very good
Derek

I've been very happy with Unfuddle. There's also CVSDude (CVS or SVN).

http://code.google.com/hosting/

you also get the option to hide the source.. :)

Where is that option?

I disagree: http://groups.google.com/group/google-code-hosting/browse_thread/thread/feab0410b285ef2a

+13  A: 

What about XP-Dev? Anyone tried it? It looks kinda nice and a good alternative to Assembla, now that it makes your code public if you don't pay.

The guy that made it talks about it here.

Yes I've used it - and had no problems at all with it.
robintw
Just to add to this... I used XP-Dev to actually do a full blown project including the SVN feature and it worked a treat! +1
James
+2  A: 

I tried both, and I prefer Beanstalk to OpenSVN, as I experienced it as much faster.

panschk

You might want to check out origo. They offer a subversion repository, a wiki and an issue tracker.

It is free for both open source and closed source (private) projects.

ProjectLocker has free Subversion hosting, with unlimited repositories and a 300 MB quota. You can also use Git if you prefer, and all repositories come with Trac.

Disclaimer: I work for ProjectLocker.

runako
Seams nice, will give a try.
Amr ElGarhy
I'm just checking out the various suggestions on this page and ProjectLocker, in my opinion, has the least attractive looking webpage. I know it's shallow but it did make me check out unfuddle first..
TomA
Same here, the website looks pretty bad and the web interface for managing repos is just as bad. I still use it, though, they give a lot of space for free.
Rafael Vega
Can't recommend ProjectLocker. I paid for a repo with PL for about a year, switched to unfuddle (a FREE private svn service) and never looked back as unfuddle turned out to be faster and I've yet to have ANY problems creating/deleting/re-creating repositories whenever I want. I recall having quite a few issues with PL.
Crusader
A: 

Edit: nevermind -- it was free when I used it

hometoast
svnrepository.com doesn't provide free repository hosting (any more?). They only have commercial plans on their site.
Bert Huijben
+1  A: 

I've been using http://www.hosted-projects.com/ for a while. Not free, but pricing is very reasonable (starts at $7/month), it's got a decent amount of space, and support emails are always answered very quickly. I've been very happy with them and had no problems at all.

(I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just a happy customer)

Mun
+4  A: 

I've been using the pay-level service at ProjectLocker for a year and have been very satisfied. They also offer a free level that includes SSL, up to 5 users, and 500gb of storage. Git, and Trac are also included.

JWalker
Just to clarify, the free level includes 500mb, not 500gb. I got pretty excited when I first read this.
cmptrgeekken
I've seen free services more reliable, unfortunately (ex. unfuddle). The only catch is 200mb vs 500mb, but I'm only at about 10-15% storage use with over 10 repositories...

www.xp-dev.com

free unlimited users private or public svn repo

Ahmed Khalaf
+4  A: 

I tried XP-Dev.com and did not enjoy the experience. I then went through some of the aforementioned SVN hosting providers (private, and preferrably free of charge), and found that Unfuddle is now my free, private, reliable, and easy-to-use SVN hosting solution. Thank you to Johan who made the suggestion of trying www.unfuddle.com. Finally, an off-site solution to my small development team needs.

I also hear that www.svnrepository.com is a great bang for your buck, especially for more advanced and/or larger development teams.

Marty McGee

I use freepository. There are 300 MB for free use. If you want more, you can pay for it ... usage is not so easy (but free :)

http://www.assembla.com now offers free, privately permissioned, encryption enabled, unlimited user, full gigabyte, commercial quality subversion and git repositories. Check it out.

bitbucket.org provides Mercurial hosting (the next generation of SVN). Now it provides 1 private project and many public for free (may be space limitation is present).
