/**
 * This interface defines the <tt>cd</tt> command service interface for the
 * Felix impl service. The <tt>cd</tt> command does not really change the
 * directory of the impl, rather it maintains a base URL for
 * simplifying URL entry.
 * <p>
 * For example, if the base URL is <tt>http://www.foo.com/<tt> and you
 * try to install a bundle <tt>foo.jar</tt>, the actual URL will be
 * expanded to <tt>http://www.foo.com/foo.jar</tt>. Any bundles wishing
 * to retrieve or set the current directory of the impl can use this
 * service interface.
