That's right, with the patch, the filenames start with "~/".

I actually like that change too, but I am curious if there is an
Emacs wide design guideline on such a thing.
It seems that the behavior varies from place to place.
E.g. when I
'C-x C-f' /Users/spepo42/test.txt
it shows up as  "~/test.txt" in the buffer list.
On the other hand, when I
'C-x C-f' ~/
dired tells me in the header line it is looking at
/Users/spepo42, but shows "~/" in the buffer list...
