I've just started to investigate VirtualEnvironments as a means of

venv's can be managed quite effectively using Powershell. When
Activate.ps1 is run, the PowerShell changes to indicate that the venv
is active which is nice. However despite the official documention,
there doesn't seem to be a corresponding Deactivate.ps1. There is a
deactivate.bat but that doesn't appear to switch the paths back to
their pre-env state.
  What I would really like is a Git-Bash based alternative to
Powershell to manage my Virtual Environments. Has anyone dicovered
tools or techniques to achieve this?

Well, in a UNIX environment the natural things is simply to start a shell using the target venv. Thus:

 sh -c '. /path/to/the/venv/bin/activate; exec $SHELL'

or even simpler:

 ( . /path/to/the/venv/bin/activate; exec $SHELL )

That would get you a prompt using the virtualenv by default. To reset to the old settings, exit that subshell.

Maybe I misunderstand your needs.
