git clean in a python project triggers invalid python notification #1037
Description
In this scenario there is an existing valid environment (created with a .gitignore in it). and performing git clean removes that environment. This causes python extension to detect that the environment has changed. Python extension then tries to look up info to get data on the environment. But there is no environment and that leads to invalid environment notification.

updating as now the problem is more concretely "Deleting the selected venv with
git clean -fdxleaves stale interpreter selection"
