Thanks for all the thoughtful replies.

I liked Greg's suggestion of getting a cheap virtual host, although my
thinking is 1) getting a virtual host to run a Subversion server and a shell
is probably overkill, although it might be worth the trouble if I could
squeeze other useful services, like Tomcat on it.

I don't think I'll go with CVSdude -- I very much doubt that my stuff will
be releasable any time soon, if ever.

Alternatively, I can do what one of my buddies here at work does, and get
ADSL, and put a server on it.  Although that has its own disadvantages,
including lack of reliability and issues of cost.

File/VCS hosting is really what I'm after, here.  I'm flexible on what
source control system I use, so long as I have a central dumping ground for
my source code.  So I should probably look hard at getting co-op SDF/ARPA
membership.

Thanks for all your help!

Cheers,

Ben.
