[Anthill] Missing build logs

[Varban]

I think the answer is yes.
Anthill will take the project root directory from the repository adapter (in 
this case wherever the svn adapter points to as the working directory) and 
then execute any scripts in that directory. This way your build scripts 
location is relative to the project root (source root might be a more 
appropriate term) and thus independent from the environment Anthill is 
running in.

Varban
