Since I never heard of subversion until a few weeks a go I am the least
qualified to make any recommendation. But a quick search on "alternatives
to sourceforge" popped up a canned search by the time I got to the c. So it
seems a lot of others are in the same boat.   Have you considered Google
Code Hosting, which is free for svn and mercurial?. At the site
Alternativeto.net it was the highest ranking of free svn sites.  Only two
ranked higher overall but they only supported git, or git and mercurial
 Some people love to hate google but if reliability is key they would seem
to be a good bet.  From the site:

Host open-source software projects using Subversion or Mercurial for
revision control. Google Code also includes a wiki for documentation, issue
tracking and file download feature. It is free for Open Source projects
that are licensed under one of nine licenses (Apache, Artistic, BSD, GPLv2,
GPLv3, LGPL, MIT, MPL and EPL).
