Maybe. The virtualenv tutorial also says so. But can you explain why? I never saw a reason for this. Just put it in the root folder always saves some writing time and as far as I know I didn't experience any disadvantages from it yet. And if I put it in `venv`, then do I not have to exclude `venv`? Wouldn't the same excludes not work then as well?
Would be really glad about some explanation, because it's really all still quite new for me.
