I'm not sure I follow. If you realize you can leave your application folder inside /web2py/applications and simply create a version control repository right there, then why is it a "problem" that it must be inside the web2p folder? > I can symlink it (or directory-junction it, in windows), but that still > seems quite awkward to me.

And you can also create a separate version control repository for each application within the /applications folder. What additional benefit do you get by moving each application folder to some arbitrary place in the filesystem? In the rare cases where that is necessary, you can always use existing OS facilities, such as symlinking. I suppose we could allow further configuration, but that would add complexity to the routing system and the functioning of the admin app. We tend to avoid additional complexity unless there is a compelling benefit. It's hard to see the compelling benefit here.
