2 cents... if it was me, I'd choose between hg/bitbucket and git/github... not necessarely because I think they are the top of the top, but because they seem to be the two most popular, and they seem to be strongly viable... and push come to shove, they are good enough.
But that's only my two cents, an informed opinion. The choice is really yours. In message <20140424052417.gy62...@over-yonder.net> on Thu, 24 Apr 2014 00:24:17 -0500, "Matthew D.
