Well I'm not that daft.  I tried that and if it had resolved my problem
I wouldn't have posted.

Hm, but isn't that what Karsten explains in his last paragraph? What
shell are you running msys or cmd?

Our /etc/profile does this:

https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/blob/master/etc/profile#L38

...however, our git-wrapper only does this:

https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/blob/master/src/git-wrapper/git-wrapper.c#L71

So yeah, we don't seem to actually check if %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
exists. Perhaps fixing this is the right thing to do then? Since the
git-wrapper is run for *every* invokation of git, you wouldn't even
have to restart the shell in this case.
