title: git directory structure confusion
body: <p>Coming from an svn background, although not a that advanced user, I had a confusion on the directory structure of git. </p>
  
  <p>For a C++ project, I read the first 3 chapters of the book pro git which is online. I guess that it is a pretty good book with lots of figures that ease explanations. </p>
  
  <p>Now the question is that svn was creating a trunk directory under which my header and source codes were located namely(more precisely I was creating them with svn commands), the include and src directories. In the first 3 chapters and thereafter I did not see a structure like this. Question is that what is the best strategy to structure your work under directories like this, should create different directories and add the files under these directories separately to tracking control or is there a more structured way to do this as a whole?</p>
  
  <p>I guess I do not have to keep everything in one place, which is highly unlikely...</p>
