how to change "solution" paths for source control

I didnt see any "save solution" in the VS8 files menu where I can save the
project solution to a different directory. My program needs to be checked
into our source control system (Accurev) and people that check it out will
be putting it in different places.

I looked at "nchansite.sln" and here is some of the stuff that needs to
change:
===============
Project("{E24C65DC-7377-472B-9ABA-BC803B73C61A}") = "c:\nchansite\",
"..\..\..\..\..\..\nchansite", "{3F1C8123-5DE8-41B2-AAA4-4CAF9201EF08}"
ProjectSection(WebsiteProperties) = preProject
Debug.AspNetCompiler.VirtualPath = "/nchansite"
Debug.AspNetCompiler.PhysicalPath = "..\..\..\..\..\..\nchansite\"
================

OK, the project is at c:\nchansite but it seems the solution is at
"..\..\..\..\..\..\nchansite" I know it is because that is where I found
the .sln So I edited the .sln and found by trial and error that
"..\..\..\..\..\..\nchansite", needed to be "." I also changed the
PhysicalPath to "./"
After I got thru I found the "nchansite.sln" could live in the nchansite
directory but was being published. I can fix that by editing the .sln and
moving the .sln out of the published directory name into a "project root".

Anyway, there has got to be a simpler way. How do I specify that the
solution goes into, say "projects/root_nchansite" and all the sources go
into "projects/root_nchansite/nchansite"

Another question: Maybe the solution does not even need to go into source
control???? Is VS8 smart enough to open an existing "projects/nchansite"
and create its own .sln?
