I'm using subversion locally (in particular for myhdl) and I have been
promoting it in the companies that I work with as a consultant. It
seems to be emerging as a real winner. So I agree it's a good choice.
But, there is so much interesting development going on in this field
with things like darcs, git, mercurial ... and sometimes I feel like
those distributed systems would be more suited to things like myhdl.

Anyway, I think the more important question is: should we host
a repository ourselves, or use a hosted service? (The question can
be extended to bug trackers, feature trackers, file release pages, etc.)
My personal feeling is that there is no conceptual difference between
MyHDL IP and any other open-source project, with respect to development
support tools. Therefore, we can save time and effort by using a
hosted service.
