It apperas that this is not possible with 1.7.0:

    # ~/.gitconfig
    [sendemail]
            aliasesfile = $HOME/.mailrc

=> opening $HOME/.mailrc: No such file or directory ls -la $HOME/.mailrc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2008-05-31 11:08 /home/foo/.mailrc -> vc/git/shell-account-common/.mailrc

Neither seems to be "~/.mailrc" accpeted. Please add support for at least tilde(~).
