We use a simple SVN with apache setup - no SSL, just plain apache 
authentication, and with a separately maintained set of accounts 
(htpasswd) for write access. Not the most secure solution, but 
hopefully enough for our purposes.

I've used google code for a different project and quite like it - but 
all repositories have to be world readable, which might not be what you 
want. I suspect that the desire to keep certain repositories private 
will mean that the do it yourself solution is still best.
