I'm not against the proposal in this thread but I'd like to throw another
option out there:

We could also make testr create the `.testrepository` dir in the venv
when running under tox. If this is currently not possible, it'd be a
matter of adding a CLI param to it that we can pass to make it create
the dir where we want.

`tox` has a `toxworkdir` option that you can set to specify the...
workdir :)

Cheers,
Flavio
