FogBugz On Demand + online source control at low/no cost? [closed]

Question

I have a project in the free hosted FogBugz On Demand (FOD) product right now. This is great for feature/issue tracking. But I've been working from a codebase that is solely on my development machine. I'd like to collaborate with another guy who is thousands of miles from me. So we need a source control solution (SCM)!

I use Visual Studio (2005, but can upgrade to later versions as needed).

I am aware that FogBugz can integrate with a number of source control systems.

So now the question is: which online SCM products can integrate well with FOD and VS? And which ones do so well at low or no cost, for a small code repository. And where might I find a proven recipe for putting this together.

I'm open to other solutions which provide the same functionality. Please don't suggest Trac - I regard it highly, but I want the features of FOB (especially the evidence based scheduling) in my issue tracking solution. So really, I need to combine FOB + VS + some online SCM product into a low or no cost solution for two coders to collaborate on.

Answer 1

Well, the obvious solution is to go with the product designed with FogBugz on Demand in mind:

Kiln, from Fog Creek

It is in beta right now, and I don't know what the waiting times to get into beta are like with it, but it might be worth a look for you.

Answer 2

I'm currently working with another developer and I have an SVN server set up at home. I've got it hooked up to WebSVN so that we can access it through port 80 and all works like a charm. We've got it hooked into FogBugz on Demand.

You should be able to use a service like DynDNS (or similar) to keep them linked if you don't have a static IP address. I've got a static IP which alleviates this need, but it's free and allows access to my SVN repo from the office or to the other developer I'm working with.

I can't speak for online services though... I haven't used any of them. I know this isn't strictly the answer you're looking for, but thought I'd throw it out there because of the fact that it would be free.

Answer 3

If you don't get into Kiln beta (or don't want the extra cost once it's out of beta), you should try mercurial.

I'm not sure how good the VS integration is, but I've heard it's getting better.

You can host a mercurial server at bitbucket.org for not much money, which now has (untested by me) Fogbugz integration (http://www.bitbucket.org/help/service-integration/)

They seem to offer Subversion hosting for a small project like yours for $15/month. Not sure if that qualifies for 'low' cost, but if the source code you are developing means anything to you (which I assume it would!) $15 a month seems pretty cheap for a reliable source repository.

I don't work for or represent that company, just something I found when looking for subversion hosting.
