I have just found 2 interesting website about source code hosting. As a DARCS DVCS user, I was looking for a public host solution. And I have found :

1. http://patch-tag.com/ : for DARCS and GIT users.
2. http://chiselapp.com/ : for FOSSIL users

An interesting overview on various source forge public server :

Git for Windows

Few months ago, I was looking for an interesting distributed Version Control System. I had not found Git for windows. But now it is : http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

For ones who loves SNC, you should have a look on SVK:
