You will need to ask sysadmin to create directory (or symbolic link)
there, but I guess it is needed only once.

/pub/scm will be useful for keeping "default" (or "official") git trees,
(e.g symbolic links to maintainer's tree under ~maintainer/scm/).

(Also as side effect, I suspect (not sure) that this helps to use simple
gitweb configuration with single $projectroot).

I agree with this, but it is orthogonal to "/pub/scm".
