Actually, rake will search "upwards" in the directory structure to find a Rakefile (with any of the names indicated) and then the tasks will be executed with the current directory set to where the Rakefile was found.

This allows you to be in a subdirectory of a project and still issue the rake commands. Of course, now that Rails expects you to have ./bin in your PATH, finding the rake executable is a bit more complicated than it used to be.
