.babelrc location not configurable

See original GitHub issue

Is it true that the babelrc location can not be specified in the loader options? (I guess so because of delete options.babelrc; in index.js). Why is that the case?

Yeah, it looks like it searches for it in the process.cwd() and every directory above that point for the .babelrc file.

This logic is WRONG. It should search starting from the directory of the file being transpiled instead of process.cwd(),

Babelrc document:

Babel will look for a .babelrc in the current directory of the file being transpiled. If one does not exist, it will travel up the directory tree until it finds either a .babelrc, or a package.json with a “babel”: {} hash within.
