From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2018 10:51:48 GMT Subject: [PATCH 1/2] parse-options: expand $HOME on filename options Message-ID: <20180214105149.28896-1-pclouds@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <20180214101019.gaenosifgq3wx2nm@NUC.localdomain> When you specify "--path ~/foo", the shell will automatically expand ~/foo to $HOME/foo before it's passed to git. The expansion is not done on "--path=~/foo". An experienced user sees the difference but it could still be confusing for others (especially when tab-completion still works on --path=~/foo). Support $HOME expansion for all filename options. There are about seven of them.
