Version Control

I'm new to FRC and was wondering how teams handle multiple developers. My team was thinking of using svn since there is a plugs-in to workbench/eclipse.

Where do teams actually store their sw? svn/git/whatever provide access to a repository somewhere. I was thinking of using code.google.com which provides free hosting for projects. Another idea for something similar would be to use sourceforge. Our team has internet access in the school so we can check in/out updates during the build season. Some possible advantages of using something like this are:
- offsite backup in case computers/disks die, are stolen, lost, etc..
- students/mentors can access code from home or school
- other teams can see/find the sw so it makes it easier to ask for help or give help
- gives students experience with real life project tools/process

Any thoughts about this or suggestions for other ways to store s/w in some kind of repository? Thanks.

We are probably going to store our code on a friend's server this year, but in the past we have just set up a svn server on one of the team laptops and used that. Since the laptop was always with all the programmers, it worked out fine. code.google.com looks like a great idea though, and the only thing that prevented us from using it in the past was the license agreement on Kevin's code. Which shouldn't be an issue any more.

I can create SVN repositories on our server for anyone that's interested - shoot me a PM.
