I don't think there's any autocmds which fire on a directory change. I
thought maybe BufFilePost would, because the name displayed for the
buffer does change, but this doesn't work and it would be more of a
quirk than expected behavior if it did.
So you can either do as you suggest and create a :Chdir command or
similar, or you could get close to what you want with CursorHold or
CursorMoved or the like.
