[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49765] Windows CLI version octave tries to write history to C:\

[Amro]

Follow-up Comment #17, bug #49765 (project octave):

@lostbard
Personally I prefer if cmdshell.bat did not override HOME.
Just let the login init-scripts set it according to the MSYS convention, but
that's just me :)

Anyway the file cmdshell.bat should probably be renamed to better reflect that
it's actually starting a bash.exe shell not Windows' cmd.exe shell.

We could even have two files: shell-cmd.bat and shell-bash.bat, one launches
%COMSPEC% and the other bash.exe
