Github's pretty good - I used this to become familiar with Git (your
life will get better ;-)):

The main issue I have is it's lack of release management support. And
yes, unlike HTML 5 I do believe having release checkpoints benefits
users. :-)
With a dig at HTML 5, I think this thread is now back on topic, right?

Do I need (want to?) learn "git" ? and move to github ? My "Git"
experience so far has been disappointing (I cant figure it out ! The
model makes no sense and I never know if stuff is checked in or not)
I have some projects on google code which has been sufficient and
trustworthy as sites go ... but it has that "google owns you"
creepiness factor.
David, I researched these options a year or so ago and concluded it was
time to learn git/github; however lack of good support for hosting large
binaries kind of forces you to host those elsewhere. Google code seems
like the other main option. I wonder if there isn't a possibility SF
will right the ship, though?
About git: you can use git more-or-less like svn, although there are
definitely extra steps. One thing I have come to really like about it
is the ability to commit changes without immediately sharing them with
the world (you commit, and then push, as two steps). You could do this
with svn branches, kind of, but they seem so heavyweight and I never
really use them as much as perhaps I should. I do find myself searching
stackoverflow every so often when I get into weird git situations.
