If you have never used one and don't have much time to invest on that,
I would suggest http://code.google.com

Google Code only hosts SVN and Mercurial, so if you want Git you just
have to create a repository at http://github.com

The chosen website will give you an SVN or Git URL to your (empty)
repository. Perform a checkout on your local computer, copy your files
in the directory, add them to source control, commit, (push).

Would be great if you have time, but that's the kind of things someone
else might be happy to contribute.

By the way, thanks for your great work Jim!
