Free is a special kind of deal. I see the tradeoff is a limit of 5 users,
but that shouldn't be an issue. I like that the repo can be private and it
doesn't say "MUST BE OPEN SOURCE LICENSE" that kind of talk makes my boss
clinch. I guess I really should try to dig into this stuff this weekend
and acquaint myself with tools like this anyway. Though I doubt a single
weekend is enough.

Definite thanks on the recommendation.
