What the duck has happened to this topic?

Ok anyway, I found out a few things:

I can change $HOME by adding this line into C:\Program
Files\Git\etc\profile file:
HOME="/d/dev/git/"

right *above* this line:
HOME="$(cd "$HOME" ; pwd)"

This was from someone's blogs post. And then if I want to start git
bash from a different initial directory I just change the git bash
shortcut "Start In" field to whatever directory.

Anyways I've made a bunch of commits to my forked repo of dpl.org, and
now have to figure out how to make a pull request. I haven't made any
branches or anything because I'm way too new to this.

I would also like to know how to uncommit a change which hasn't been
pushed yet. So if I locally do:
git add someFile.d
git commit -m "woops wrong comment"

I'd like to just uncommit that message. I couldn't find an easy way to
do this. Isn't this just hg revert on mercurial? I had to resort to
backing up the files and re-fetching from the repo because git kept
complaining about being "ahead" of changes. Damn complicated software
that needs a book to operate it. :]

Also I'd add the first time I tried using GIT GUI a few months ago it
froze and crashed when I tried to do a simple clone.
