I would like to be able to store my persistent global context in the same folder as the node red project. Ideally, I would like it to be included in the git repository. I think I can create a new persistent store in the settings.js file that would place context in a named folder, but I don't see any way to specify the currently running project folder.

Thanks,  
Tom
