Hi All,

While trying 3.3 beta I found that I cannot use my favorite virtualenv pattern 
with pyvenv:

   $ virtualenv .
   Installing.....done.

   $ pyvenv .
   Error: Directory exists: /Users/stefan/sandbox/foo

I appreciate that this behavior is documented and was in the PEP from the start:
"If the target directory already exists an error will be raised, unless the 
--clear or --upgrade option was provided."

Still, I am curious what the rationale behind this restriction is. For me, 
being able to "bless" an existing directory with a virtualenv has always been 
one of its attractions. 

Thanks,
Stefan
