Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Give Git a HOME on Windows

The environment variable HOME is a well-known concept on Unix/Linux, but not
so much on Windows. In fact, there are competing concepts, and they fulfill
separate roles.

Let's try to map the closest that we can find to HOME so that Git is happy.

Git for Windows carries this patch since 2015, so I think we're pretty sure
that our chosen strategy works.
