Mmm.  :-/  A few things I don't like about (what I've heard about) SVN:
   - Doesn't detect repository corruption
   - Not distributed
   - Merges can sometimes be difficult

I'd rather use a distributed source control management (like Git or Hg) so 
that working remotely doesn't require a network connection.  I've merged 
several branches with Git and had to resolve conflicts -- I don't know from 
experience how painful (or not) that is with SVN, but I've heard that it can 
sometimes be a lousy experience.  If I used Google Code, I'd probably use Git 
or Hg locally, then use git-svn or hgsvn to push up to Google's SVN repo.

Sounds good other than that.
