 Description   

The evergreen folder is at risk of being misinterpreted by python/pylint because we add the repo to PYTHONPATH.

Rename it to .evergreen

Closing as won't fix per Drew's concern.

I'm not in favor of doing this: hidden files/folders are often ignored by search tools: ag for instance will no longer search the evergreen folder by default if it is renamed to .evergreen. We should be vary sparing in our use of hidden files (let alone entire directories) in the source tree.
