I would phrase this a little different, to give the reader a more clear idea of whats going on:
"You may set the IPFS_PATH environment variable to make ipfs use a different location for its on disk repo."
Or something, cc @jbenet @RichardLitt

@sahib This is a great add! But I agree, it is worded a bit strange. How about:
If you want IPFS to use a different directory locally than the default
~/.ipfs, set theIPFS_PATHenvironment variable to point to your preferred directory.
Sahib, do you know how to amend commits?

I used your suggestion and updated the pull request.
Sahib, do you know how to amend commits?
I just squashed my commits to one.
(Had to use git push --force but I guess nobody used that commit yet...)

How about this (+ example):
ipfs uses a repo (repository) in the local file system. By default, the repo is located
at ~/.ipfs. To change the repo location, set the $IPFS_PATH environment variable:
export IPFS_PATH=/path/to/ipfsrepo

LGTM thanks-- one minor edit above. sorry for the delay @sahib |

@jbenet: Changed. Only change from your suggestion was spelling out repository long the first time and abbreviating afterwards. |
|
lgtm. Thanks. |

I couldn't find this piece of information in the official docs, just scattered over a few issues on GitHub.
