Hi Everybody,
has there been any consideration of using 'Google Code' (
https://code.google.com)
for hosting the envisioned 'Blackbox Component Builder' project?
It provides a choice of 3 version management systems (svn, mercurial, git)
and includes an issue tracker and a project wiki.
I have no personal experience with Google Code project hosting, but a first
look at the features is compelling: it is completely free, fast, simple to use,
mainstream, the project limits are way beyond our needs,
and there is some hope that it will stay with us for a long time.
I don't know how it handles binary files but I do know that Git has no problems with
binary files because it works on binary files only. Diff and Merge tools are
always a problem with binary files, but I guess this can be handled locally.
Under Windows, for example, one can configre filters within TortoiseGit,
the Windows Explorer plugin for working with Git.
