That would be an improvement, but I'd rather have the option to put a
session file wherever I want.  I realize this would make it possible
to accidentally put it under revision control, but is that really an
issue worth trying to solve?

Another possibility would be to formalize the setup a top level
session directory.  Something like:

+ session/
   + shadow-builds/
   + source/
   + session-file-1
   + session-file-2

That would make more sense to me than the current way QtCreator
handles sessions and default shadow build directories.
