Google code has been shutdown since last May.
AFAIK, Google uses code to host internal projects as well as open source projects.
Apparently some users were spamming and/or hosting illegal content for download. Instead of spending resources fixing what is essentially a free service to the public, they just shut it down and converted all repos to read-only mode.
At this point, I pretty much assume that any service that Google offers for free sans advertising exists to attract free beta testers. Eventually, it'll be converted to either a paid service or internal-only use.
Source: lots of time wasted migrating projects to GitHub.
