Hi!

`gnus-home-directory' is the correct variable to customize, but it must
already be set before Gnus is initialized; otherwise, Gnus will
regenerate ~/.newsrc.eld on restart if it can't find it (which is
annoying, because you're trying to get it to show up inside your version
control repo/dropbox/whatever).

Best,
WGG
