darcs-all work around for darcs Issue 467

The darcs "Issue467: darcs changes --context interferes with --repodir" (http://bugs.darcs.net/issue467) causes this failure:

$ perl darcs-all changes --context
== running darcs changes --context

Context:

[FIX #1177, partially at least.

== running darcs changes --context --repodir nofib

darcs failed:  Not a repository: nofib (nofib/_darcs/inventory: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory))
darcs failed: 512 at darcs-all line 57.

David Roundy found that "When given an absolute path, --context and --repodir work together fine."

Here is a patch to darcs-all that uses this work around to repair perl darcs-all changes --context.
