Yeah, but it's a bit hacky. I might well not want $HOME reset.
Here's a small patch that does what I think would suit me and
Alvaro.
Incidentally, this actually doesn't work anyway. psql gets the home
path from getpwuid() and ignores $HOME. You could argue that that's
a bug, but it's been that way for a long time.
So, do we want to fix this and honor $HOME?
Not really. Mangling it is a nasty hack anyway. Meanwhile see the
subsequent 9.2 feature (described thus in the release notes):
*
Provide environment variable overrides for psql history and startup
file locations (Andrew Dunstan)
Specifically, PSQL_HISTORY and PSQLRC determine these file names if set.
cheers
