It depends which ones. Even Mercurial doesn't always abide by that rule (e.g. 
"hg clone" will tell you that it updates to the default branch).

That's good if you only want to use the interpreter directly, but not if you 
want to call any scripts.

Also, the reason I think "source activate" is good advice is that it's easy to 
type instead "./bin/activate" which silently succeeds (but is actually a no-op, 
from the caller's point of view).
