Why
this has been bothering me, and i just ran into a scenario where cloning a repo resulted in ~13k untracked files in git
we can't fix that with gitignore since a project's
.cargo
directory may also be checked into git by convention (primarily for project-local configuration, but there's other reasons to do so)What changed
moved the
CARGO_HOME
env var from$REPL_HOME/.cargo
to$XDG_DATA_HOME/cargo
