It's not in my vimrc file. I used cygwin's bash to issue the
following case-insensitive recursive search for the above statement
from "/c/Program Files (x86)/Vim".

grep -iR 'autocmd.*BufRead.*cd' !(Vimball)

Nothing came up. I sanity checked the search command by ensuring that
the following abbreviated version did yield (tons of) hits.

grep -iR 'autocmd.*BufRead' !(Vimball)

What should I name the file? I was confused by the help file for
"after".
