I like how well bazaar is integrated into launchpad. I’ve started a couple small projects, and you can even have launchpad host bzr branches without a project by pushing it to your +junk section.

PS.: I use launchpad to keep my dotfiles versioned on launchpad:

Yep, bazaar is good for this kind of thing. You can have a ‘dumb’ server using, e.g. sftp. Also take a look at the bzr-upload plugin.

Pssst. I hear Bazaar is good. I also hear that all the cool kids are using it these days…
