I have .git and .gitignore at the top level, and venv is in
.gitignore. I did, indeed, misunderstand things though. That's the
problem with monkey-see-monkey-do. I completely glossed over the part
where venv was excluded from my git repo. That being the case then, to
update my virtualenv, I need to first create a new one in a fresh
directory (using my existing requirements.txt file). I should be able
to simply swap out the old venv directory for the new one.
