What reasons are there for not using a third party version control service?
- by Earlz
I've recently noticed a bit of a trend for my projects as of late. I use to run my own SVN server on my VPS, but recently the nail went in the coffin for that when I got my last project migrated from my server to a Mercurial repo on Bitbucket.
What are some of the ramifications to this? (disregarding the change in version control systems)
It seems like there has been a huge explosion in version control hosting, and companies like Bitbucket even offer private repos for free, and Github and other such services are extremely cheap now. Also, by using them you get the benefit of their infrastructure's speed and stability.
What reasons are there these days to host your own version control? The only real reason I can think of is if your source code is super top secret.
