HOME initialization was historically duplicated in many different places, including /etc/profile, launch scripts such as git-bash.vbs and gitk.cmd, and (although slightly broken) in the git-wrapper. Even unrelated projects such as GitExtensions and TortoiseGit need to implement the same logic to be able to call git directly. Initialize HOME in git's own startup code so that we can eventually retire all the duplicate initialization code.

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