Clarifies the
venvdocs for the case where the target directory already exists:venvmay create, update, or replace files in it, so a dedicated directory is best;--cleardeletes all contents of the target directory (including files venv didn't create) before creating the environment.Docs-only, no behavior change. Per the maintainer direction in gh-135604, the intended fix here is this clarification rather than a behavior change.
