There was a patch send to git mailing list adding basic '~' support
(I think via $ENV{HOME}), and IIRC even ~user support. I don't know
what happened to those patches (check mailing list archive), but
most probably it was not accepted because it didn't provide a way
for scripts to use this functionality, for example via --path option.
