I just started a project using Google Code, and it was pretty easy.
You'll need a Google account, and after that, you can just pick a
project name, type in a description, select a repo type, and off you
go.  They are currently supporting Subversion and Mercurial (what I'm
using for my project).

Google auto-generates a random password for pushing changes to the repo,
so you put the URL, username and password into your own .hgrc.  So you
can then clone the Google repo for your project, and then push back
changes without typing in a password.  The project owner(s) can change
the repo password at any time.

Best regards,
