Expanding tilde ~ in environment variables is what you let your
shell do when you assign it. This is not limited to Git:
$ FOO=~/.bashrc
$ BAR='~/.bashrc'
$ head -n 1 "$FOO"
# Bourne Again SHell init file.
$ head -n 1 "$BAR"
head: cannot open ‘~/.bashrc’ for reading: No such file rdirectory
$ echo "FOO=$FOO" "BAR=$BAR"
FOO=/home/gitster/.bashrc BAR=~/.bashrc
The patch does not fix anything and not necessary.
