Re: Home Environment Variable

Well, HOME variable is somewhat different from the rest of environmental
variables. It's because you can re-define the HOME property in the IDE through
options. That value is stored and it overrides the system HOME variable.

The problem can be, when you did not change the HOME property in Options, but
you've changed the variable value in the system. The IDE should probably
remember whether the HOME property was changed or not.

Issue #33943 is not really related in this case. The value of HOME seems to be
kept by the options system. An easy workaround is to change HOME property is
Tools->Options->Source Creation And Management->Version Control Settings.

Please file an issue for the vcscore module, where the HOME option is
implemented.

Thanks,
Martin
