Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: darcs
Version: 1.0.9rc1 (release candidate 1)
Distro: Ubuntu 7.10
Expected behaviour: Darcs "push" command to expand tilde to user's home
directory.
Observed behaviour: Failure to expand tilde symbol correctly, although the
repository does seem to be located.
When using "darcs push" to push a patch to a remote repository via SSH,
darcs fails to expand the tilde symbol (~) to locate the user's home
directory correctly. For example, a successful push looks like:
$ darcs push example.com:/home/tony/public_html/main/repos/check_uptime/

* Using /proc/uptime and changing status messages to suit
Shall I push this patch? (1/1) [ynWvpxqadjk], or ? for help: y
Finished applying...
However, when using a tilde instead of the full path, the following
happens:
$ darcs push example.com:~/public_html/main/repos/check_uptime/
Pushing to "example.com:~/public_html/main/repos/check_uptime/"...

darcs failed: can't set directory to
~/public_html/main/repos/check_uptime/
Obviously the expansion works correctly when copying files via SCP etc.
For reference, when the target directory does not exist at all, one
sees:
$ darcs push example.com:/foo/repos/check_uptime/
Invalid repository: example.com:/foo/repos/check_uptime
darcs failed: (scp) failed to fetch:
example.com:/foo/repos/check_uptime/_darcs/inventory
