From df2a79f4225b7216dce010ebfe41f8ad0de34b24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthieu Moy Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:21:15 +0100 Subject: expand_user_path: expand ~ to $HOME, not to the actual homedir. In 395de250d (Expand ~ and ~user in core.excludesfile, commit.template), we introduced the mechanism. But expanding ~ using getpw is not what people overriding $HOME would usually expect. In particular, git looks for the user's .gitconfig using $HOME, so it's better to be consistent.
