Myself, I keep all of my Geany project files in a top-level ~/Projects
directory and below that a sub-directory for each project's source tree.
I also add 'configure' and 'Makefile's to my VCS ignore file as to not
check them in (assuming they're auto-generated by Autotools or whatever).
From my observations, it's quite rare to see developers' personal
"project files" in a project's source tree or checked into VCS. Even a
Geany-specific project like geany-plugins doesn't contain a single
project file in its repository (from a quick `find' for *.geany).
My $0.02
