Compass - Changing default of "compass watch"

With SASS you are required to create a config.rb which manages the location of the app. I've recently changed the name of this file to "sass_config.rb" and can't figure out how to change the default of "compass watch" so that it finds my renamed file.

To clarify, when I run the following command compass correctly finds the file and continues with its normal behavior:

compass -c watch sass_config.rb

But when I run:

compass watch

It says:

Nothing to compile. If you're trying to start a new project, 
you have left off the directory argument.

How can I fix this behavior so it sees the file has been renamed by just running "compass watch"?

Just create a compass project by

compass create

after that you copy the OLD config.rb content to the created one from copass.

Now try

compass watch

The configuration filename cannot be arbitrarily modified. It is hard coded within Compass to be in one of 5 locations (soon to be 4).

https://github.com/chriseppstein/compass/blob/192107cb4f17bef52fdd8c0d961fe77f3edb44c4/lib/compass/configuration/helpers.rb#L137

# TODO: Deprecate the src/config.rb location.
KNOWN_CONFIG_LOCATIONS = ['config/compass.rb', ".compass/config.rb", "config/compass.config", "config.rb", "src/config.rb"]
