It's just a rendomly named directory.  I like to keep a directory named
the same as the package it is going to contain.  So:
 ~/devel/debian/QA/mason ← random directory.  I usually mkdir that
     directory, then cd in, `apt source -d $pkg` ($pkg == mason here),
     then `debcheckout -a $pkg`, or `dgit clone $pkg` in this case,
     which is going to create
 ~/devel/debian/QA/mason/mason ← git checkout of the mason package.

The files that are shown there are there from previous work on that
package, whatever that work might be.
