Mixing <ant> and <subant> causes basedir to become confused

If you read the <ant> manual page very carefully (i.e as if you were
a lawyer) you may see that is the designed behaviour (I think).
The ant call in the main directory sets the basedir of the subsequent
ant calls by use of the dir="../sub" attribute. In this case "basedir"
becomes (I think) a user-like property and is not by default overridden
by the subant call in the build file in sub.
To get the behaviour you want you need to do:
<project name="main" default="build" >
<target name="build" >
<echo message="main base dir=${basedir}" />
<!-- <ant dir="../sub" inheritall="false" /> -->
<ant inheritall="false" antfile="../sub/build.xml" />
</target>
</project>
In your main build file.
I am marking this as WONTFIX, because to change the
behaviour would break a lot of build scripts.
