As I've been demoing forge, I've been pitching that one of the most elegant aspects of the git-plugin command is that it automatically sets you up with source code to hack on. After experimenting with a plugin tonight, I realized that while the final artifact gets put in ~/.forge/plugins, the repository is hidden away in a cryptic directory in my temporary folder. I think behavior should be changed to make it more welcoming for developers to contribute back.

I propose one of the following two locations, though feel free to choose a more flexible option:

~/.forge/plugin-repos
~/forge/plugins

...or read an option from .forge/config. Perhaps prompt the user where to stick the source even.
