    Free, hosted (SaaS) source control and bug-tracking/issue-management?

    I've been happily using assembla's excellent free service for side-projects' SVN. But issue-tracking and time-logging is a little google-doc I threw together... works OK but I'd rather use something proper.

    However I hate configuration and installing server software, especially in the Linux world. If I had to I could probably get bugzilla or redmine up and running on my host but I thought I'd check in case anyone can suggest free (or bargain) hosted alternatives. Anything that charges per user is out, but services which are free (or nearly) up to a 5 users would be perfect. I don't need fancy features, just something stable and cheap - if/when things pick up I'd switch to something more complete (and expensive).

    Suggestions?

    Beanstalk — Secure, Private Subversion, Mercurial and Git Hosting

    $15 a month for five users, doubt you'll find something free

      Since assembla are giving me free SVN/git, that doesn't appear to offer much more

        BitBucket is free for up to 5 users. Unlimited public & private repos for Git/Mercurial with rudimentary issue tracking within each repo.

          Thanks. Looks like it's DVCS only, but their issue tracker might fit with my assembla SVN

          (why oh why do companies have to dictate I use the latest fad when tools with a decade of trustworthiness are still the default, bloody idealist programmers trying to force the issue!!)

            You're not in MSworld but I thought I'd add Team Foundation Service if anyone who is hits this thread in the future

            Edit: actually Eclipse supported too

              It's poor though. Yes it does the things requested but it doesn't actually do any of them well.
              merely at clientco for the entertainment

                I'm happy with Google Project Hosting, but it's for open source projects only....

                  +1 for bitbucket

                  There's a pretty easy upgrade path from subversion to git, so you can maintain your changes and commit histories.

                    Sure, but git's horrible Or at the very least, massively overkill for a small project. Plus I know how to use SVN!

                    A free account's not to be sniffed at though, even if as a way to play with git and use the issue tracker.
