Restarting Terminal on OS X does not restore working directory

[bjhomer]

On OS X, turn on the setting to restore an application's windows when restarting the app. Make sure fish is your default shell. Then do the following:

1. Open a new window in Terminal.app
2. cd ~/Documents
3. Cmd-Q
4. Open Terminal.app
5. Note that the working directory is ~, not ~/Documents

I'm running this built from brew, version 2.0.0.

JFYI, I use iTerm2, and it works fine except first tab in each window is at $HOME. I can live with that though.
Maybe it's not the shell's problem?
I didn't try, but does bash work well?

We don't support this yet - see #87, #906. The series of control characters is the same on both Terminal.app and gnome-terminal (thankfully).

Noticing something like this:

• Open Terminal.app (default shell set to fish 2.1.0, installed via homebrew)
• In one window cd Movies/
• In another window cd Documents/
• Force quit terminal
• Open terminal

Terminal opens both windows, shows some of the old session history followed by a "[Restored]", but then I am just placed in a new shell. History in each window is global.

This is fixed in 2.2.0, hooray!
