From 395de250d9d9762b8ac1ce98b297d60d0b5bd643 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthieu Moy Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:24:25 +0100 Subject: Expand ~ and ~user in core.excludesfile, commit.template These config variables are parsed to substitute ~ and ~user with getpw entries. user_path() refactored into new function expand_user_path(), to allow dynamically allocating the return buffer. Original patch by Karl Chen, modified by Matthieu Moy, and further amended by Junio C Hamano.

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.
