Yeah, memories. Is this experience still valid? How many users do profit from this, using c:/Program\ Files \(86\)/bin/git.exe instead of c:/Program\ Files \(86\)/cmd/git.exe, either by pure luck or intentionally? It seems that we should keep the patch, to minimize surprise if bin/git.exe is used directly. But we should probably make it consistent with other places: - $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH (without the slash) - $USERPROFILE if the above dir does not exist. - setenv HOME instead of wrapper We can make this change for msysGit 2.0.0 only, so that we do not break 1.9.4 ;-) Does this make sense?
