FWIW: i use to host some of my one-person repos on dropbox and never had
any problem with it (nor with files for other apps which edit them directly
in the dropbox folder). i've been using Dropbox since it came out, and
haven't ever had any locking/corruption-related problems. However, as
Richard says, it's another variable which might or might not be a problem.

Mine (where fossil.wanderinghorse.net is) is about $5 with full ssh access
(or ftp for those who prefer it), php, etc. (hostmonster.com).
