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).
