We should teach the Git wrapper to not only add /mingw../bin;/usr/bin/ but also $HOME/bin to the PATH. That way, users can install additional executables and scripts into their %USERPROFILE%\bin folder and they will be picked up not only from Git Bash, but also from Git CMD, and really from every application that uses /cmd/git.exe to call Git for Windows.

This is particularly useful when users want to install their add-on remote and/or credential helpers.

git-wrapper: append $HOME/bin to the PATH
a755cd8 
`$HOME/bin/` is quite convenient a place to put user-specific Git
helpers, such as credential or remote helpers.

When run in Git Bash, it is therefore already appended to the PATH;
Let's do the equivalent when run in Git CMD: when `git.exe` is
called, Git is told to look also for scripts and programs in
`$HOME/bin` (this does not modify Git CMD's `PATH`, of course).

This fixes git-for-windows#429

Nice! Does this mean that I only need to add the cmd folder to PATH and everything will be available?

No, it just means that Git will find the executables in $HOME/bin/. It won't find everything 😜

not only add /mingw../bin;/usr/bin/ but also $HOME/bin

Fair enough ;)
