Re: [PATCH] patman: Support absolute and ~user-relative alias files

Python doesn't naturally support tilde (~) as a user-home marker in paths, but git-config does. So we need to resolve it before continuing.

We also shouldn't blindly join the top-level tree with the aliasesfile path, because it might be an absolute path.

This resolves warnings like the following:

Warning: Cannot find alias file '/path/to/source/tree/~/.git-email'

Seen when git-config is like:

$ git config sendemail.aliasesfile ~/.git-email
