Surprisingly there is no FAQ about sharing working copies, but that is also
a bad idea.
If you have a server handy which provides external internet access then
your best bet is to install a subversion server. If you do not have such a
facility then you could try one of the many subversion hosting services.
Many of them offer free hosting for open source projects; some offer
limited free hosting for private repositories.
