We are having a major issue where the relative path is not working inside the `databaseChangeLogMaster.xml` file when using includeAll.

includeAll works only with absolute path. Example is below:

below does not work:

```
 
```

below works fine:

```
 
```

when we run the liquibase update using the `"java -jar"` method we get error for the relative path, below is the error, any help will be highly appreciated. Let me know if any more information is needed.
