I think shells do not expand ~ when it appears in a string (e.g. hg::~/there);
you could work it around with
git clone hg::$(echo ~/there)
and I suspect that is what Felipe is alluding to. A tool (like
remote-hg bridge with this patch) that expands ~ in the middle of a
string also may be surprising to some people, especially to those
who know the shell does not.

That looks like a good cleanup to me, too, but I may be missing some
subtle points...
By the way, you earlier sent an updated 1/2; is this supposed to be
2/2 to conclude the two-patch series?
