Handling of paths

Hello,

I have a .gitconfig in which I try to separate work and private stuff by using includes which works great.

When using [include] the path is treated either
- relative to the including file (if the path itself relative)
- relative to the home directory if it starts with ~
- absolute if the path is absolute

This is fine and expected.

What's unexpected is that paths used for sslKey or sslCert are treated differently insofar as they are expected to be absolute. Relative paths (whether with or without "~") don't work.

It would't be an issue to use absoulte paths if I wouldn't use the same config for Linux and Windows and each OS has its own semantic where it $HOME ishould be.

To avoid double configurations I tried to use the same directory structure within my $HOME for both OS.

This approach fails since paths other than for [include] seem to have to be absolute which seems like a bug to me.

Do you have any suggestions how I could make this work?

Thank you, Victor
