My main repository is on one of my Linux boxes and is backed up to 
rotating rust (a rotated pair of USB hard drives kept in a fire safe). I 
use Sourceforge for wider publication/collaboration.

A pertinent question for the likes of Bitbucket, Github, Google, 
Sourceforge, .... who offer free services is "where do they make their 
money?".  We know the answer for Google (and so to avoid them if you want 
any privacy), but its not so obvious for the repositories. Knowing the 
answer is a good indication of their future stability and what tricks 
they might get up to (ads in the 'free' Windows downloader in the case of 
Sourceforge) if they get desperate for cash.
