However, if I script this call from a different working directory, collectstatic adds the working directory to the search path. This doesn't just copy more than is required, but I believe is creating an infinite copy loop, as it eventually starts iterating over the target `static` directory as well. {{{ cd ~/src/my_proj/manage.py collectstatic }}} or: {{{ cd src/my_project/manage.py collectstatic }}} both will copy every static folder under my home directory.",Bug,closed,contrib.staticfiles,1.3,Normal,fixed,,danielnaab@…,Accepted,0,0,0,0,0,0
