    This is fucking moronic. Its got no logical connection to petsc and your petsc-dev repository at all!   I keep my papers in /usr/lib/papers,  my talks in /usr/local/include/something and some of my source code in /someotherdisk/jed/src  is that how you organize your files?

   Please point to where bitbucket explains why subdirectories are a bad idea.
