It seems like such an obvious choice, I'm not sure why I didn't put it
in the initial implementation.

Ugh. This must_free_path business in the middle was quite confusing for
me to read (and I think maybe for you to write, since you ended up with
a leak in the initial version).
If you just detach the strbuf buffer, then must_free_path can go away
(you must always free it then). But I think it is even simpler to just
keep the allocated bits in a separate variable. Patch is below, with
documentation updates and tests.

Subject: [PATCH] config: expand tildes in include.path variable
You can already use relative paths in include.path, which
means that including "foo" from your global "~/.gitconfig"
will look in your home directory. However, you might want to
do something clever like putting "~/.gitconfig-foo" in a
specific repository's config file.
