What's the best place for the source code directories of projects you work on, while you work on them?

@liw ~/projects/ for working directories.
There's too much OS-generated clutter in ~/ to put much of significance there.
Since things in ~/projects/ are systematically backed up in one of my three regular backup mechanisms this includes things which aren't actually projects as such, such as ~/projects/thunderbird/ for my email and ~/projects/firefox/ for my main Firefox profile.
Being a cantankerous git myself, I don't use git for my own projects. Most projects are backed by directories in ~hg/projects/ (yes, separate Linux user). One, and likely soon more, in ~/fossil/.
