-This is the source directory of the most recent :command:`project` command.
+This is the source directory of the last call to the
+:command:`project` command made in the current directory scope or one
+of its parents. Note, it is not affected by calls to
+:command:`project` made within a child directory scope (i.e. from
+within a call to :command:`add_subdirectory` from the current scope).
