### Description:
I would like the context output by `{{cookiecutter | jsonify}}` to include the `-directory` argument passed to the CLI, under a '_directory' field. This will allow tooling created to update projects with new versions of their base templates to correctly pick that template.
### What I've run:
`{{cookiecutter | jsonify}}`, which when run against a template in a git repo, with the '-directory' argument, has the `_template` field as e.g. git+https://bitbucket.org/{org}/{repo}, which is not enough information to resolve the template used if it was in a subdirectory of the repo.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Trace how the `-directory` CLI argument is handled and how `{{cookiecutter | jsonify}}` produces the context. Done means the context includes a `_directory` field so tooling can identify templates stored in repository subdirectories.
