uv supports centralized virtual environment storage!

#~/.config/uv/uv.toml
cache-dir = "/local-scratch/uv"
preview-features = ["centralized-project-envs"]

Previously, the .venv in each directory was already just symlinking individual files to the central cache. Across disks, uv would copy everything over, though. This new feature works across disks and symlinks the entire .venv folder to the location you specify.

This is especially useful for projects in slow locations like network-attached storage, where venvs with their many small files regularly slow everything down drastically.
