Generate VCS ignores to avoid version controlling virtual environments

As per https://twitter.com/metalikus/status/1256853693153947649

List of VCSs targeted is https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0610/#registered-vcs

I would like to take this up, where would be this best placed?

virtualenv/src/virtualenv/create/creator.py

Lines 151 to 156 in 6dffcf2

	def run(self):
	if self.dest.exists() and self.clear:
	logging.debug("delete %s", self.dest)
	safe_delete(self.dest)
	self.create()
	self.set_pyenv_cfg()

Is something like self._write_gitignore/self._ensure_gitignore after self.set_pyenv_cfg() be a good way to implement this?

Yeah somewhere there 🤔
