           Summary: -config option doesnt seem to use etc/swift.properties
                    as a base
           Product: Swift
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: SwiftScript language
        AssignedTo: hategan at mcs.anl.gov
        ReportedBy: wilde at mcs.anl.gov


When the -config option on the swift command line is given a file with just a
few properties to override, then it sees like etc/swift.properties is not read
in first as a base (as the user guides indicates it should be).

Its not clear if this is intentional (and a user guide error) or inadvertent. 

This behavior is seen in this example:

com$ swift psim.itfixex1.swift
Swift svn swift-r3187 cog-r2579

RunID: 20091114-1623-10i1k2g3
com$ swift -config set.properties psim.itfixex1.swift
Execution failed:
        File not found ${vds.home}/etc/sites.xml
com$ cat set.properties 
execution.retries=2
sitedir.keep=false
com$
