Hi,

make and git have the -C option which works like:

(

builtin cd -q $COPT

git/make "$@"

)

I think that it is very useful, because no lengthy subshell is needed. Zsh doesn't have such option, could it be added? It's pitty that -C is already used by NO_CLOBBER, but maybe some other letter is free (I didn't found any)?

Best regards,

Sebastian Gniazdowski
