    [st][patch] workingdir: Set working dir at startup
    
    This patch adds a '-d path' switch to open 'path' as working directory
    when st spawns.
    It behaves as if 'cd path' would be ran after st starts and does
    nothing if path is invalid.

+Subject: [PATCH] Add switch to provide initial working directory
+
+This patch adds -p switch which takes one argument 'path' and can be
+used to set the initial working directory of the new st instance.
+It acts the same as running 'cd path' command after starting the st
+instance.
