Comment 1 for bug 628873

Would you mind changing it to

  os.environ.get('GTIMELOG_HOME') or '~/.gtimelog'

? I think setting $GTIMELOG_HOME to an empty value should be equivalent to not setting it at all, instead of using the current working directory.

I'm going to grant you write access to gtimelog trunk, so you can push this yourself -- assuming I figure out how to do that in Launchpad. I did it once for zodbbrowser, I should be able to figure the confusing UI again....
