That's not a good thing; you don't want loads of third-party files in
your VCS repository.

Instead, the deployment to the live system should be done from a wholly
separate build area, and the virtualenv can serve as that build area.
Then, your VCS need only contain the files you'll actually be changing
as source code.

Where specifically are these instructions that tell you to put the
virtualenv under VCS control? As you are a Heroku customer (I'm not),
would you be willing to suggest they alter them based on advice from
this forum?
