David, I researched these options a year or so ago and concluded it was 
time to learn git/github; however lack of good support for hosting large 
binaries kind of forces you to host those elsewhere. Google code seems 
like the other main option.  I wonder if there isn't a possibility SF 
will right the ship, though?

About git: you can use git more-or-less like svn, although there are 
definitely extra steps.  One thing I have come to really like about it 
is the ability to commit changes without immediately sharing them with 
the world (you commit, and then push, as two steps). You could do this 
with svn branches, kind of, but they seem so heavyweight and I never 
really use them as much as perhaps I should. I do find myself searching 
stackoverflow every so often when I get into weird git situations.
