commit 5d60bc7f7c43c20fcf65531b5a5fb1fc7dcbb338

Use pgrp of pty fd not pid of immediate child when recovering current
working
directory (like current process). From Marcel Partap.
While this might improve the submitter's use case, it deteriorates mine...
tmux opens new windows in the cwd of the foreground process, but I would often
prefer the cwd of the shell.
Consider, where I used to do:
ben@d2:~/local/src/tmux$ git show 5d60bc7f7c43c | colordiff | less
<tmux new-window>
ben@d2:~/local/src/tmux$ vi osdep-linux.c
Now I'm stuck with:
ben@d2:~/local/src/tmux$ git show 5d60bc7f7c43c | colordiff | less
<tmux new-window>
ben@d2:~$ # oh no, wrong directory! Let's cd back to where I was...
And, where I used to do:
ben@d2:~/local/src/tmux$ man tcgetpgrp
<tmux new-window>
ben@d2:~/local/src/tmux$ vi osdep-linux.c
Now I'm stuck with:
ben@d2:~/local/src/tmux$ man tcgetpgrp
<tmux new-window>
ben@d2:/usr/share/man$ # what? Let's cd back to where I was...
For some real fun, try running `find` with the post 5d60bc7 behavior:
ben@d2:~$ find ./ | less
<tmux new-window>
ben@d2:~/.cache/banshee-1/extensions/lastfm/84$ # really?
Besides Marcel and me, are there some people who strongly prefer the new
behavior, the old one? Is a revert warranted? Is a new "start-directory"
special value for "new-window" warranted?
