Use PASSWORD_STORE_DIR environment variable if it is set.
A user made this request:
I was wondering whether it is in a planning to have multiple
password-store directory trees or possible to achieve? eg.
$HOME/.pwd-store-work and $HOME/.pwd-store-home. Maybe distinguish them
with a command line switch and then create aliases in .bash_aliases?
Why I'm asking is that I have multiple major password categories -
personal, work etc. It'll be nice to keep them separate and under
different repos.
