title: How to tell if virtualenv is activated in Windows Git Bash
body: <p>I created a virtual environment in my new directory with <code>virtualenv env</code> and then in Windows Git Bash ran <code>env/Scripts/activate</code>, which seemed to work. I didn't notice my virtualenv being displayed in parens at the beginning of the line (question1: can I set it up to work like that?), so to check if it was indeed activated I ran <code>pip -V</code> which gave me:
  <code>pip 9.0.1 from c:\tools\python2\lib\site-packages (python 2.7)</code></p>
  
  <p>Shouldn't that be giving the directory of my virtualenv rather than site-packages? I also ran <code>pip list</code> and it gave me a list of installs that I had (naughtily) installed globally for a different project. So I can only assume my virtualenv did not activate and I don't know why that is. </p>
