process.cwd() not programmatically friendly

https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-cli/blob/master/lib/phonegap/serve.js#L83

From what I understand cwd() was done because of https://github.com/phonegap/connect-phonegap/blob/master/lib/middleware/autoreload.js#L21

I created an issue on that found here:
phonegap/connect-phonegap#96

Probably a good fix once that issue is resolved would be

if (!options.projectDir && !project.cd({ emitter: self.phonegap, callback: callback })) return;

I know i should've forked this, but it's like a one liner :(

Hi @cblanquera,

Totally agree with you! I'll queue this up to be fixed.

Hi, any idea when this would be available?

It's really a blocker when you want to integrate it with parallel build systems. You can't process.chdir without messing up other tasks. Depending on cwd certainly makes sense for a CLI but is a really bad idea when you expose an programmatic API (i.e. connect-phonegap).
It totally defeats the purpose of using the API because obviously you want to integrate this with other tools that may need your cwd to stay where it is.

As @mwbrooks mentioned, it should be an easy fix with a maximum gain. Could you prioritize this? That would be awesome! 💖

Hi @ngryman,

Thanks for bring this issue back up. I will put it on my todo list.
