        ACK, thanks for the information.

        However, contrary to GLib, Git actually follows the
        specification [1] by falling back to ${HOME}/.config should
        XDG_CONFIG_HOME be unavailable.  It doesn't seem to use
        getpwuid () there at all.

void home_config_paths(char **global, char **xdg, char *file)
{
        char *xdg_home = getenv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME");
        char *home = getenv("HOME");
        char *to_free = NULL;

...
                if (!xdg_home) {
                        to_free = mkpathdup("%s/.config", home);
                        xdg_home = to_free;
                }
...
}
