My problem is that my “Documents and Settings” folder is on a networked drive which is abysmally slow. Since this is where Git (and most programs) store all of their settings and stuff by default this ends up being a problem since even a simple “mkdir” can take upwards of 30 seconds. How do change Git to store all settings/repos in a diffent location?
