Create some [visible] subdirectory that contains all the stuff that you
don't want to see?
(On [other people's] Windows for example, the first thing I usually do is
to create a `Deskbottom` folder, to move the useless things to... :-) )

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Of course RCSs' directories can be
located anywhere, not just below `SAGE_ROOT`, and even for the latter
aren't necessarily [just] Mercurial's `.hg` directories.
