Latest GNU coreutils have a useful (to me) feature of changing the "current" directory before running the command:

  -C, --chdir=DIR      change working directory to DIR

The way it works in GNU coreutils is that it changes to the fully-symlink-resolved path (think readlink -f) of the directory being provided. I personally prefer it to be "change to the exact path I'm providing, regardless of whether it is relative or not", but maybe someone has a different opinion about this.

Thanks for the note.
I'll look into it when I get some time.
If you'd like it sooner, PRs are welcome!
