No doubt the change (14fb657ba82) is fine in isolation, but now if Emacs is started from $HOME/somedir and I do find-file, the minibuffer prompt is "/home/mattias/somedir/" instead of "~/somedir/" which does not seem to be an improvement.

Worse, if cwd is $HOME, the minibuffer prompt becomes "~" instead of "~/" which is inconvenient since that slash has to be typed explicitly.

If nobody else is observing the effect then I'm doing something wrong but I'm not sure what.
