I don't know if it's helpful information, but Mercurial and Git are

I never understood why Torvalds and crew bothered coding Git in the
first place. I use Mercurial.
There's a bunch of hosting sites for both tools, but you don't really
need them. Distributed revision control is logically peer to peer.
It doesn't depend on central sites. As long as you have upload access
to an ordinary Web server, you can share your code with anyone (even
on the hosting sites) just by posting your repo. Here are my own
repos, for example: http://zelea.com/var/db/repo/
I think I'll keep the current setup for now, though. The hosting sites
seem to give additional tools to make it easier to coordinate, report
and fix bugs, document, and so on. If I grow out of the hosting site,
I'll consider moving elsewhere, but there's no risk of that yet :-)
As for Github vs Google, I haven't thought much about it. I pretty much
just picked a reasonably well known hosting site. Is Git very different
from svn?
