I'm planning to move the DWT2 repository to either github or bitbucket. Which one would you prefer?

maybe google code is an alternative, too. it supports both git and mercurial and features review tools, issue tracker and wiki with a very clear (simple) interface.

google code likes to be down every once in a while. Maybe it's not often, but I've seen the "google code will be in read-only mode at this date" message several times now..

I see no advantage with google code. I like git and github best. The only reason I ask is because the DWT2 repository is already a mercurial repository and because there are forks on bitbucket. Although the forks will most likely need to be created again.

I vote for github, but I'd like to hear from those that do have forks on bitbucket. I'm not sure if the choice would effect how likely I'd fork.

I would also like to hear from those that do have forks on bitbucket.

Both github and bitbucket are acceptable for me.

Git seems to require a Unix shell to work on Windows.  Which is one of the things that make me think that git and Windows is not a match made in heaven.  It's a bit like having a crossplatform project that uses Microsoft's C++ extensions, and requires linux contributors to run MSVC through Wine to be able to build it. In other words, I would prefer Bitbucket.

But I don't expect to make big contributions, so it's not going to matter much for the project.

I have been thinking the same myself. I just haven't figured out how much of a problem it really is.
