I have the following directory structure

tmp/issue-1
tmp/issue-5
tmp/issue-13
...

where the issue numbers are not contiguous. If I am working on an
issue, say issue-37, I would like to do
cd tmp/issue-37

If issue-37 is a new issue, I would like to be inside tmp so I can
mkdir issue-37 if necessary.
If it is an existing issue, I would like to be inside issue-37 automatically.

I am aware of mkdir -p option. But that is not what I want here.

thanks
