Right, this is suprising. Motvation for above code was to
make source trees work which are recursively copied into a subdir
(which can happen with e.g. tox, copying/isntalling thingss into .tox).
But i think this does more harm than good, as shown by your usage.
I just committed a removal of the feature. So to avoid recursion
problems one might need to throw in a "--confcutdir=." or so to prevent
py.test from looking up too much.
cheers,
holger
