Issue

Can something be added to the virtualenvs.in-project setting documentation that mentions that without a .venv in the project and with the default value of virtualenvs.in-project that poetry install will create a venv under the directory
in cache-dir?

    Wow thank you @tavor ... I was really scratching my head on this one.

    Based on the documentation I was expecting poetry to create a .venv within my project directory if one did not exist. Very confusing!

    I think adding a short note, about the default path of virtualenvs when virtualenvs.in-project is set to false, would be enough. PRs on that are welcome.
