Is it possible to use variables with :dir?  For example, I've tried this,
but no substitution of ${SRFI} seems to happen:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir ~/srfi/split/srfi-${SRFI} :results output silent
:session local
  git push
#+END_SRC

Thanks.

  There may be a better way, but this seems to work.
  
  #+begin_src sh :dir (substitute-in-file-name "$HOME/.emacs.d/") :results output
    ls | tail -2
  #+end_src
  
  #+RESULTS:
  : tramp
  : url

    $SRFI, which isn't in Emacs's process environment.
    
    I've found a way to work around it.  I don't use :dir at all:
    
    #+BEGIN_SRC sh :results output silent
      cd ~/srfi/split/srfi-${SRFI}/
      git push
    #+END_SRC
