On my Cygwin machine $HOME is cygwdrive/c/Users/me (i.e. not the sometimes default of /home/me) which I appreciate.
However, when I am using git, and trying to use ssh keys, it always checks in /home/me/.ssh for my keys.
To get around this, I tried this solution however, putting a config file in ~/.ssh doesn't work because I then have copy that same file to /home/me/.ssh because that is where git (when run from Cygwin) looks.
Is there some way I can avoid this? As it stands right now I have to duplicate the file in each place or link them (which I want to avoid). What I do not understand is why git insists on thinking my home folder is different than it actually is.
