Re: 0.7 - Working directories

The idea is that working directory is the base directory of where
source is checked out into, then everything else (builders and tasks)
uses that as a relative directory base.

Right now, the builders *do* use Project Working Directory but
Perforce is the only SCM to use it. To get the benefit of Working
Directory *right now*, you should manually set your SCM to use the
same working directory as the Project Working Directory.

The whole point of this is for remote configuration where you *don't
know* absolute paths of places where things are checked out, so you
need a relative directory scheme that fits together. (which is what
will happen once all the SCM's use Project.WD)

Does that make more sense?
