I just checked, and at least less, svn, cvs and mutt do the tilde expansion themselves (the way you expect). To me, that is an argument: if a setup works with most unix-ish tools, it should work for git too. Now, for the good news: with the latest git, it just works! commit 08874658b450600e72bb7cb0d0747c1ec4b0bfe1 Author: David Kastrup <dak@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed Aug 1 23:47:20 2007 +0200 -- Matthieu - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
