16703	collectstatic management command looks in current working dir instead of project root	Daniel Naab	nobody	"{{{
    ./manage.py collectstatic
}}}

Works as intended.  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
