#1435 rootdir discovery: re-open

[matthiasha]

Playing around with the current pytest sources after merging #1621, I figured out that my example
py.test --cli-option ../../test.log

does still not work if you do touch ../../test.log before executing pytest.

Sorry for finding this out only after the merge :(

[matthiasha]

Please reopen #1435

[nicoddemus]

Done!

What is the current status of #1435? I've been getting the GitHub unicorn for that issue.

[nicoddemus]

I'm getting the unicorn too unfortunately, but I could salvage it from mailbox: it has been fixed by #1819. I closed it now without opening it direclty from the "Issues" page.
