Typo.  :-)

I would rename the variable to ‘%user-config-dir’ or similar; I think
it’s putting the package name everywhere just makes it more difficult to
rename it.  :-)

No tabs please!

Could you update shepherd.texi to so that it mentions the right
location, make sure XDG_CACHE_HOME is unset in AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT (or
similar), also add a test in basic.sh?

The test would essentially be done at the end of basic.sh, setting
XDG_CACHE_HOME to some temporary place and making sure that ‘shepherd’
loads the file.

Thank you!  It’s great to see people have worked on to-do items while I
was away from keyboard!  :-)
