Where do people put git repositories cloned by root? Is it an /opt thing?

It doesn't matter where you put it, but if it's owned by root then a sensible place would be /root/git. Also, why are cloning git branches as root? Usually this is unnecessary.

That's what's recommended at rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo: git clone git://github.com/rakudo/rakudo.git. That's what I find usually recommended by people distributing software from git repositories. Also, my /root is rather locked down, with no group or world access at all--and I believe I like it that way. The root has to build the executables, but I normally access it through my own ID. – Axeman Aug 1 '10 at 2:31
@Axeman: The page you linked to doesn't seem to mention root at all. If you are going to use root however, I stick by my answer. – Josh Aug 1 '10 at 9:49
