I think it is reasonable to expect csh to keep track of the directory
name in the following example. My prompt is "%d > ", and I verified that
it was the same as $cwd at all times.
/mit/jfc > mkdir test1 test2
/mit/jfc > cd test1
/mit/jfc/test1 > mv ../test1 ../test2/
/mit/jfc/test1 > pwd #I understand why it's wrong here,
#since it hasn't had reason to set cwd
/mit/jfc/test2/test1
/mit/jfc/test1 > cd ..
/mit/jfc/test2 > cd test1
/mit/jfc/test1 > pwd #This is wrong. It is where pwd
/mit/jfc/test2/test1 #says it is and should know it.
