It is supposed to be so, but real windows CVS clients does not work in this way. They look into C:\. Furthermore, under Windows the user's home directory is not named "HOME". In order to be less dependent on various systems we decided to require that CVS_PASSFILE is always specified explicitly. If you don't like the default setting, just change it. To avoid changing it every time the new build is out you can define CVS_PASSFILE explicitly in your system. The "unusual" default is chosen because various Windows systems may define various variables (or variable combinations) that point to the user's home. Or on some systems the variable may not be defined or defined incorrectly. Specifying the explicit default value also makes the bat-file less system dependent.
