[GRADLE-1021] Allow Gradle to be run from the root of a project with build.gradle inside master/ Created: 07/Jul/10  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

 Description   

It's nice that build.gradle can be stored inside a master/ directory (e.g. so that the master directory can be regarded as a project inside an IDE). A disadvantage of doing so is that the algorithm to find the root build file (or rather settings file) skips the current directory. This effectively means that running `gradle` works from both the master directory and the project directory, but not from the root directory.
