Don't use .cargo for custom CARGO_HOME
#1148
Conversation
Users changing cargo's home directory expect it to be used as top path instead of there being a `.cargo` hidden dir in it. There are some cases following this pattern one of them is python's virtualenvwrapper, which uses `WORK_HOME` as a home dir for everything. This patch removes the extra `.cargo` and assumes that CARGO_HOME is the real path a user wants to use as a homedir for cargo.
