Potential fix

This needs testing.  If you try it out, please report back on your results.

The basic idea is that the resolve-ChangeLogs script will always chdir to the
root of the source directory for you (if you don't run it from there), so that
this assumption (that it's run from the root source dir) is no longer violated.

What I don't like about this patch is that it makes it impossible to use
resolve-ChangeLogs from any project other than WebKit due to the way
chdirWebKit() works.  It would be better to use git prefix (and something
equivalent for svn--anyone?  Bueller?) to chdir() instead.
