I'm little bit more chaotic. I have a projects directory, where I dump my
projects (one per directory). If I clone a project, I just give it a
different name:

cd projects/
hg clone hg hg-gitweb

That's on the desktop/laptop/workstations. On the server I have a directory
for repos only. Which are for pull/push ops only. I use hgweb to export them
via http and ssh to push to them. Although, I'm going to give push over
https a try.
