'cd -'

["Paul D. Swasey" <ps3u+@andrew.cmu.edu>]

Here is a simple way to get the effect of kshes 'cd -', it costs an
extra line per cd command in your $history but it only costs one
variable (the current directory cache) and one call to "pwd", when
leaving the current directory (if the current directory is not $home).

(it's nice for me because I do "pwd" a lot, anyway, so "cd" only has
to calculate the current directory about half the time...)

sample:
peso ; pwd
/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/system/src/contributed/niftylibs/017/util
peso ; cd
peso ; - cd
cd /afs/andrew.cmu.edu/system/src/contributed/niftylibs/017/util
peso ; tail -7 $history
pwd
cd
cd /afs/andrew.cmu.edu/system/src/contributed/niftylibs/017/util
- cd
cd /afs/andrew.cmu.edu/system/src/contributed/niftylibs/017/util
cd /afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr16/ps3u
tail -7 $history
peso ;

er, make that 2 extra lines per cd command (i forgot about the one
added by -(1) )
