Hmm, that's interesting and potentially desirable (I think this is the first time I've said that on this list!). > You are right though, the implementation is a mess.

(*cough* git checkout -b > link) That is a good idea which for some reason slipped my mind. You probably will want to use cd -P. Will probably follow up with a jump implementation using symlinks, I like it. It certainly makes sense since we're dealing with paths anyway. Chris
