Do not put a '~' character in the samples path to indicate a home
directory. Because of shell nuances, this will cause FATE to fail.

This is documented in doc/git-howto.texi, isn't it?
Yes it is, but just because it can be found elsewhere in the documentation
doesn't mean there isn't benefit to having a fallback elsewhere in the
documentation.
Can't we just make it point there, instead of explaining it again?
OK, I'll do that.
