Sorry to follow up myself (I did not read the code through properly).
In the step log you should see the output of `os.getcwd()`, which will
tell you what was it when the command was executed.

My other finding is that the current directory will depend on how the
build master is started.

So I think the best way is to use the [undocumented in the manual]
parameter `path` of MasterShellCommand.
