Issue 108: GiT Bash reports Home directory does not exist

Comment #7 by tpetruzzi:
i have figured out a work around for this issue. what you will have to
do is add the
userprofile variable to your environmental variables. for some odd
reason, even
though the userprofile variable is set, sh isn't picking it up. you can
see that it
is indeed set by opening a command prompt and typing "set" and hitting
enter. i would
assume that sh is checking only the system wide variables. in order to
correct this:
1) right click "my computer"
2) choose the "advanced" tab
3) click the "environmental variables" button
4) under the "system variables" section, click "new"
5) in "variable name" enter in "userprofile".
6) in "variable value" enter in the path to your profile. mine
was "C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator". again you can see what this is suppose to be
set to by
typing in "set" at a command prompt.
that should do it. start git bash and you should get it to come up.
