No, not really. Its sure better than introducing a special
get_home_directory(), but it still increases the diff between upstream and
msysgit rather than reducing it. The main critique points still remain:
* $HOME is usually set up correctly before calling git, so this is essentially
dead code (just checked, portable git's git-bash.bat and git-cmd.bat also do
this correctly)
* even if $HOME was empty, git should setenv("HOME") so that child processes
can benefit from it (similar to TMPDIR and TERM in current msysgit's
mingw_startup()). Not setting $HOME because it may hypothetically break child
processes is a very weak argument, as we always did set $HOME in etc/profile
(since the initial version back in 2007).
* no fallback to $USERPROFILE doesn't work with diconnected home share
If you really have time to spare, I suggest you focus on getting the Unicode
patches upstream so that we can progress from there (e.g. move $HOME setup to
mingw_startup() so that we can get rid of redundant logic in etc/profile,
git-wrapper, git-bash.bat, git-cmd.bat etc.).

No surplus '/', good!

This leaks memory.
