Google Code (AKA Project Hosting) is a software repository that is owned by Google. It hosts only open source software paired with an open source license.[1]

Google Code allows people to commit their code into either a Subversion (SVN), Git or Mercurial repository. It has a downloads section for people to upload their software packages (with a quota limit of 4GB, can be increased upon request) and also a wiki for projects to document their work at. There is also an issue tracker to track bugs in the project's software.

Archiving

By definition of a repository, archiving copies of the source code is rather easy (and incremental). Just clone the git/hg repository, or checkout SVN repo. For SVN, make sure that you checkout all branches, nut just trunk.

Archiving bugtrackerss and the other stuff is a bit harder

A tool to export a repository to GitHub is available[3].
