17920	Templates with startproject or startapp do not render project_directory or app_directory correctly	gw.2012@…	Jannis Leidel	"The documentation at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#django-admin-startproject states that template files may contain the tag `project_directory` that should contain ''the full path of the newly created project''. Similarly with `startapp` and `app_directory`.

This is not exactly true in case you are specifying the destination directory yourself. The `project_directory` variable gets exactly the value specified as the parameter and in case of relative paths (or even ""."") it is not *a full path* of the newly created project.

Either the documentation should be changed (although the behavour is then inconsistent) or a full path resolving functionality implemented. Maybe it could also be implemented as a full path relative to a virtualenv or other environment it is contained in."
