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.
