Online Code Editor w/SVN
I don’t even thinks this exists, but I’m basically looking for a portable way to do some plugin creation. I love ied_plugin_composer, but want something that can have svn or some sort of source control. Has anyone seen a web app offer this yet?
Any other suggestions for a mobile programmer? I move between between OS X and Vista on a desktop, and then Vista on a laptop. It’d be great if I could have a simple web app to use across all three. Right now the only option I have is to install Aptana Studio, but it hasn’t proven to be all that reliable for me.

I haven’t seen exactly what you’re after but have you thought about using Git on your local boxes and then using gitosis or GitHub to host your main repository?
I recently switched over to Git from SVN at the prompting of Gerhard and Graeme and have found it so much faster than SVN that it’s a breeze. You can easily do your stuff on your laptop — push to your master repository (matter or seconds) — switch to desktop — pull changes (seconds again) — make more edits etc.
Bazaar and Launchpad are just excruciatingly slow in comparison to Git so I don’t think they’d facilitate this kind of work-flow very well.
Just a thought.

If you are interested, you can checkout my public plugin repos at GitHub. GitHub provides some pretty branch/commit visualisation for you too.

Dissing Bazaar and Launchpad again, Steve? :P I’m looking to jump ship too – the redesign looks like crap, and it is ungodly slow to push an 8kb plugin. I wish there was a decent Mercurial host (simplest install).
Amit – check out these instructions for compiling Git on OS X.

Not really my intention :) I think Launchpad serves a useful purpose as a group ‘development center’ if you like. However, I do think Bazaar could be faster — it just isn’t with Launchpad as its remote host. I guess my main point is simply that Git is so fast I think it could support Amit’s situation even without there being the “perfect” on-line coding/vcs tool he was asking about.
BTW — if you are looking to import your SVN repo into Git, Graeme has a great bash shell script to do it. Give him a shout — I’m sure he wouldn’t mind sharing.

Re: Online Code Editor w/SVN
Also, you can now use github’s gist service doing online editing only!
