   I have a similar structure when using venvlink and keeping all venv's under C:\venvs\.

   # tree -C -L 2 "C:\venvs\"
   
   C:\venvs\
   ├── geomag
   │   ├── Include
   │   ├── Lib
   │   ├── Scripts
   │   ├── pyvenv.cfg
   │   └── share
   ├── myven
   │   ├── Include
   │   ├── Lib
   │   ├── Scripts
   │   └── pyvenv.cfg
   ...

   This is dumb. Nobody is gonna find this issue, that essentially everyone using uv, or venvlink would (or will) have.
