[PATCH] config --get --path: check for unset $HOME

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx>]

If $HOME is unset (as in some automated build situations),
currently

	git config --path path.home "~"
	git config --path --get path.home

segfaults.  Error out with

	Failed to expand user dir in: '~/'

instead.

Good catch.
