still don't see what is wrong with being able to set the `root` for
`find_files`.
First I think that `makemessages` has already lots of options, and I don't
like seeing the list growing version after version.
But probably the most compelling reason is that for options that are meant
to always been set for some project (typically in your case), adding
options seems not the way to go in my opinion. Options are good for real
options, that is an optional choice the runner of the command may activate
or not depending on some preference. Typically, the locale to generate
messages for (with `--locale`). I'm aware that with this rule, several
existing options should go away, too!
So to come back to your case, I would be open to make the `find_files`
root more configurable, not through an option, but with a command
attribute, so you could add your own `makemessages` command subclass in
your project with something like this:
{{{
from django.core.management.commands.makemessages import Command as
MakeMessagesCommand
class Command(MakeMessagesCommand):
files_root = 'django_app'
}}}
Would you find that satisfactory for your use case?
