home directory wrong in jgit 0.8.4 using fetch [message #629602]

I downloaded org.eclipse.jgit.pgm-0.8.4.sh and copied it to /usr/local/bin/jgit in my cygwin installation.

I am trying to use org.eclipse.jgit.pgm.Main directly from the maven exec plugin and am using the sh script to debug the commands.

I can clone my project without a problem with either git or jgit. However, only git seems to work when I try a fetch.

$ git fetch origin
Enter passphrase for key '/home/ssmaring/.ssh/id_rsa':

$ jgit fetch origin
fatal: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\cygwin\home\ssmaring\home\ssmaring\.ssh\id_rsa (The system cannot find the path specified)
fatal: git@github.com:smaring/yui-war-overlays.git: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\cygwin\home\ssmaring\home\ssmaring\.ssh\id_rsa (The system cannot find the path specified)

Why does jgit think that my home directory is "c:\cygwin\home\ssmaring\home\ssmaring"?

Is there a way to override this?

Thanks,
Steve Maring

jgit autodetects the cygwin environment by checking if it can find cygpath.exe under some of the directories defined in the Java system property java.library.path [1]. This is necessary to do proper path translations in the cygwin environment [2].

It obtains the user home from the environment variable HOME which is set by the cygwin environment. If you want to point to a different directory you need to set this environment variable in cygwin to this other directory and then start jgit from this environment.
