Description
When creating a new folder from Git, we get a popup sort of like this.
It would be super nice if I could optionally initialize a venv at this point in time, since that is almost always the next step for a new project.

Research direction
Reproduce the New Folder From Git flow described in the issue and inspect the existing project wizard entry point. Determine how an optional Python venv choice should fit into that flow; done means a user can opt in during cloning and the new project has the venv initialized without changing the existing path.
