perform chdir when the directory is really need (optionally)

[tomas.zalusky]

Hallo,

I would find usable if TC offer content of a directory without "chdir-ing" into it. On Windows, while the TC is chdir-ed in the directory, no other application can move or delete it, which is sometimes little bit incovenient. The chdir should perform when something (file/subdirectory/executable/...) from the directory is *really* needed. I understand that this behavior would have bigger overhead, so a configuration option which would flag it on/off would be better solution.

More on how was this issue inspired, in this thread:

Thanks

Recently I considered to implement it, but chdir is currently used in many 100s of places in TC, so it would be a multi-week job to eliminate them all...
