That works, but because this is a login shell, and the remote machine
may differentiate between login and non-login shells, this is better:

ssh -t joe@shell.example.net 'cd / && exec /bin/bash --login -i'

Also don't forget the exec because otherwise you'd be running an extra
shell or the single quotes before cd and after -i.
