Hmm. This should come directly from expand_user_path("~/.gitconfig") which prepends the literal contents of the $HOME variable. It does go through convert_slashes() afterwards, but I don't see any other massaging (but I won't be surprised when you tell me there is some that happens behind the scenes).
