I hate to seem like I'm piling on now after panning your last brainstorm :-), but... this would be quite problematic for virtualenv users, many of whom do rely on the fact that the virtualenv "stuff" is confined to within a limited set of known subdirectories, and they can overlay a virtualenv and their own project code with just a few virtualenv directories vcs-ignored. I would prefer either the status quo or the proposed cross-platform harmonization. Carl
