By default Eclipse wants to store my local clone repository in ~/git. I\'m more comforta

Answer 1

The .git should be where your working tree is (that is the files representing the current HEAD of the current branch you are working on)

Remember that with Git, branches are not directories (as opposed to SVN), so your working tree will represent directly a branch content, not several directories (for your various branches), followed by a content per branch.

I usually like to keep my project sources separate from my Eclipse workspace, but that is a matter of preference.
