Robert Patrick commented on MNG-5889:
-------------------------------------
It makes it able to find the .mvn directory. Prior to this bug fix, Maven
always started the search in the current working directory even if the
command-line argument told it to use the pom in another location.
> .mvn directory should be picked when using --file

>
> The {{.mvn}} directory is not picked up when using the {{--file}} switch to
> build a project from outside of the multi-module root.
> Example:
> * the module root is {{/foo/bar}}
> * {{.mvn}} is located at {{/foo/bar/.mvn}}
> * current directory is {{/foo}}
> * Maven is invoked with {{mvn --file bar/module/pom.xml}}
> I would expect the {{.mvn}} directory detection to start at the directory of
> the POM selected by {{--file}} and then go through the parent directories.
