lcd is intended to modify the local() call (and maybe get, put, et al? I
haven't tested). It does not actually change the cwd afaik.
>>> from fabric.api import local, lcd
>>> print fabric.api.local('pwd', capture=True)
[localhost] local: pwd
/home/redkrieg/projects/fabric
>>> with lcd('/usr/bin'):
... print fabric.api.local('pwd', capture=True)
...
[localhost] local: pwd
/usr/bin
