Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-1958:
------------------------------------
@paul I think you misunderstand. I want a deterministic reference to the root
of a multi-module build so that information that pertains to the whole build
could be stored in a known location which is the root of the multi-module
build. Has nothing to do with the local repository and ${basedir} refers to the
basedir of a given project, not the build as a whole.
> we need a var that always points to the root directory in multi module builds

> $\{basedir} always points to the local module. There are cases, when having a
> local relative repository, when it would be usefull to have a var that always
> pointed to the root project, $\{rootdir}.
> In such a case you may want to think of having the names $\{rootdir}
> $\{moduledir}
