Thanks for the many responses and the interesting discussion (some of
which I understood.)

I decided to try out Google code, so I registered a project there, selecting
subversion as the manager for no other reason than I'd heard it was good.

Now, I'm a little stuck actually uploading the source files. The Google code
pages mention uploads in passing, but give no advice as to how to do it.
I suspect I have to install a subversion client to push things upwards.

The "Downloads" area has an upload facility. I started to use it, but I see
they don't go near the SVN tree, so I stopped for now. I really don't want
to have to plough through a book just to upload some files.
