Software, such as RVM (ruby version manager), may set chpwd functions that result in an endless loop when cding. chpwd functions should be ignored. I have only noticed the RVM bug on ZSH, bash seems unaffected. However this change seems safe to apply to both bash and zsh as we cannot control what functions users add to chpwd_functions. Signed-off-by: Brandon Turner <bt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- This addresses Junio's request to update the log message. The patch still applies to bash and zsh.
