Yeah, I'm happy with that behavior, but I think what I meant with the
comment is that one would have to change all 3 settings below, although
it might make more sense to move ROOT_DIR above the comment as
overriding it in local_settings does not make sense unless you use it in
your TEMPLATE_DIRS/MEDIA_ROOT, in which case you'll have to do so.

If you'd like I can submit a second version of this patch.

Cheers,
