I would agree with this, except that git seems to think it *is*
standard, and git itself seems pretty standard these days, so if
git thinks it's standard then disagreeing with them seems a bit
pointless.

I would agree with this too, except that the shell script clearly
is already implemented for Unix purposes and would do no harm if
written to the directory, so presumably all 'venv' needs to do is to
stop preventing itself doing something it already knows how to do.

The only things I can think of that are at all 'weird' are that there
are spaces in the filenames, and there's more than one drive. But
the former of those is utterly standard for Windows, and the latter
doesn't really even rise to the level of 'uncommon', let alone truly
unusual. If I'm seeing these problems then thousands of other people
must have already seen them before me.
