Description
We have a project that stores the netlify cms codebase in `web/` and the netlify cms configs are in `web/_content` when we view the admin from the site it works just fine because it's loading it relative to `netlify.toml`'s `base` config (which is `web`). When you commit it stores the updated files in `/_content` instead of `web/_content`.
- We can't store the _content outside of the base directory for obvious scope/access reasons. Errors like `Failed to load entry: API_ERROR: "params.folder" must resolve to a path under the configured repository` show up.
- We can't use `file: "web/_content"` in our CMS config because it looks for it in `web/web/_content`
## Solution
To add a config parameter for netlify cms admin to use as a "base" directory (similar to netlify's `base` config in `netlify.toml`)
