cd

I just did two things : install scm_breeze and mercurial :

git clone git://github.com/ndbroadbent/scm_breeze.git ~/.scm_breeze
~/.scm_breeze/install.sh
sudo apt-get install mercurial

And now my cd command seems to be gone :

dys@dys-tour:~/prog> cd ~
bash: /home/dys : is a folder
dys@dys-tour:~/prog> cd ..
.. : command not found

The terminals I opened before installing scm_breeze and mercurial are fine. The terminals I open now have the problem. I uninstalled scm_breeze, with no result.

What can I do to diagnose the problem and fix it ?
