title: starting gvim from the working directory
body: <p>Trying to run gvim 7.3 from the working directory (project location) seems impossible-- it defaults to the home directory which breaks my code browsing and pythoncomplete setup. </p>
  
  <p>I've tried three approaches. First, calling gvim from the working directory:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cd /some/dir &amp;&amp; gvim
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Second, specifying a 'cd' command for gvim to execute</p>
  
  <pre><code>gvim -c 'cd /some/dir'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Third, telling it to open a particular file in that directory</p>
  
  <pre><code>gvim /some/dir/file.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In all cases, when i'm in gvim and type ':cd' to see the current directory what I get is my $HOME directory. Vim, on the ether hand, starts up at the working directory. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know if there's a way around the problem or the reasoning behind this?</p>
