I know I can pass it a different filename, but it seems odd to put it in $HOME instead of where acme is called from. My use case is this: I'm working on two projects, and so want to maintain two long-term "sessions". Dump does most of what I need when I move from one to the other, but if I don't chord in the project root directory to save the dump to, I kill my other project session. A one line change to looking at $PWD instead of $HOME makes acme much more useful for my case, but am I missing an important other use?
