Description Jeremy Nickurak 2011-05-27 22:41:41 UTC 
If I'm in:
> /home/myaccount/symlinkdir/someplace

where symlinkdir is a link to:
> /home/myaccount/some/long/path/for/which/ive/deliberately/created/a/symlink/to/hide/the/existence/of/because/its/too/unweildly/to/display/in/PS1

then creating a new tab while in that directory leaves me in:

> /home/myaccount/some/long/path/for/which/ive/deliberately/created/a/symlink/to/hide/the/existence/of/because/its/too/unweildly/to/display/in/PS1/someplace

instead of just being in:

> /home/myaccount/symlinkdir/someplace
