That makes sense. I wouldn't separate git projects from svn projects anyway as each project would be a directory of its own within Projects.


Thanks.

It all depends on how organized a person wishes to be. My personal 
recommendation would be to create a directory named Projects/ (not src/), and 
then, in it, to have one directory per project that I'm working on. There's no 
need to separate svn projects from git projects.

Also, I always recommend unpacking an archive into a directory that's known to 
be empty. The reason is that you never know what you'll be getting. Some 
archives, for example, don't have a unique root subdirectory. It's far safer to 
unpack an archive with a root subdirectory into an empty directory, and then 
move the root and remove the empty directory as needed, than it is to unpack an 
archive without a root subdirectory into a directory that already contains 
other things.
