It's not just the "cd" that is missing.

I would assume that y2m does all the rest as well.

Think of:

* you add a new module name to your FAV list

* then you run "y2m FAV $change_author_cmd

Then I would expect that y2m notices that the new repo is missing, does the proper cloning and then executes the command.

Same for the blacklist feature, that some poeple miss in y2m (opposite of FAV). I think its easier to keep this in a config file, than to always skip the unwanted modules in a "for i in *" loop.

All this would be too complex for a simple for loop you need to tpye again and again. The idea was that y2m automates the repo management incl. the cloning.

If such functionality is not needed, maybe y2m did its original job and became obsolete.
