To be precise, git checks if %HOME% is set _and_ the directory exists before falling back to %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%. If %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% isn't set or the directory doesn't exist either, it falls back to %USERPROFILE%, which is always local (C:/Users/<yourname>), even if disconnected from the network (at least that's how its supposed to be). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
