I verified that the problem identified on the list is addressed.

One comment regarding the new config.fish file - can you make the cd 
$HOME dependent upon the CHERE_INVOKING variable being unset? That way 
chere will work for those who set it up for fish. See /etc/profile for 
the bash equivalent.

Thanks,

Dave.
