Hint: build git with: make 'prefix=~'

Sorry, I do not see why you would want to do this.  I understand
"make prefix=~" or "make prefix=$HOME", but "make prefix='~'"
and expanding tilde and friends at runtime you need to justify
why it helps in which situation.

We are not DOS and do not do argument expansion shell should
have done for us ourselves.
