When pushing an existing local repo to a new remote repo, git 2.6.3 misidentifies the user's home directory on a domain-connected Windows machine. My machine is running Win7-64 and I have tried both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of git.
For example, the following sequence fails on the last command:
>git remote add remote <remote repo URL> >git config remote.uf.push refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master >git push remote master
The error returned by the last command is "Could not create directory '/home/foo/.ssh'."
git should be targeting the directory '/home/foo.domain/.ssh' instead.
The path to the user profile should be taken from %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% or, preferably, %USERPROFILE% and not %USERNAME%, unless %USERDOMAIN% is appended when a domain-connected computer is detected.
git 1.9.5 does not exhibit this problem.
