I found this free hosting SVN web site. I use it, so I thought it might be useful for other people working on projects.
They allow public and private SVN hosting. Your space is restricted, but it's better than hosting your own or paying for it...
I'm using Project Locker, and it's running fine until now. But I'm using it from 2 weeks ago only. I'm not sure if it's only a paid option, but it accepts dumps too (I don't tried it before netgore because the vbgore's dump was 400mb in size if I remember. Not commiting the binaries really makes a difference hahaha)
Edit: Wow, posted one minute later than you.
Why you don't like tortoise? I think it's really great. On the wiki I found ankhsvn too, for using with tortoisesvn and visual studio. The problem is that the express edition don't support plugins. Too bad for me. (but I'm downloading visual studio...)
Well, I guess I don't hate it anymore. It was a pain to use for the first several weeks. I'd copy a folder from one repo and move it to another, then I couldn't commit because the paths were mixed up. Then I kept committing to the wrong repo, which screwed it up a lot. I had lots of problems originally.
It would make more sense to me to keep the .svn directories separate, and then update them as files are (re)moved/edited.
Although I still have to set up a repo for my own game, this was just helping with an MMO that I play/develop for.
I understand the Tortoise pains. It can be very annoying moving or deleting anything with some sub-directories. But still beats doing it from the command-line by far.
Nah Git using command line (w' a unix shell mind you) owns everything. I use it at work and it has saved me so much time, especially during conflicts. GUI is overrated, SVN is overrated, and even more so with TortoiseSVN.
Thanks for the info! but seriously how hard is it to buy an asus eee pc for $150 and have it run as an everything server.

150 dollars hard. Tee Hee.
Actually, my mom is a web developer and is setting up a web server at home. Maybe I could ask her to set up an SVN on that thing... I like personally like GUIs. I only use the command prompt when it's demanded. (never did use it for SVN)
I think it's really easier to have an online server. So you don't need to keep the netbook working and using eletricity/internet just for the svn. And it's free o-o.
I never really had many problems with tortoise. Well, I had some, but it's not tortoise fault, it's because someone commited thumbs.db file, and it was very annoying because it doesn't updated/commited anymore (I know that I could just commit it ignoring the file, but for some reason I couldn't, and I'm really a dumb sometimes). I don't remember how I solved this btw, but it's the only problem I can think. Well, I tried to get the netgore's repo, copy it and make it the base repository for my game, and I couldn't too because of the .svn folders, so I agree that it's a bad thing to have .svn inside the folders (but how do they would do it? They would need to have a program monitoring the folders, or an option to update the folders like netgore's grh, by hash I think, but if you change a file, it would get confusing so... I think it's the best solution the .svn inside folders anyway)
And I have some doubts about the svn, like:
There is a way to ignore some files on svn? Not on svn client, on the server. I'm sure that someone will end up commiting thumbs.db or the bin/obj folders.
And there is a way to use tortoise svn merging thing to merge 2 projects on different folders? That would be great for merging my current game with the next netgore releases or with netgore's svn.
I like XP-Dev a lot. I just hate TortoiseSVN, the client I use. (one of the very few for Windoze)
What if the universe is just one huge program written in BrainF*ck?
