[logback-user] About the file location in File appender

[Ralph Goers]

Relative paths have to be relative to something. It is almost  
universal that they will be relative to the path that was the working  
directory at the time the application was started. So in this respect  
Logback is just being consistent.  How else would you expect it to  
behave?
