I'd say its git-gui, yes?  Doesn't my shell automatically do
--exclude-from=~/my.list for me?  Its not the command's job
to do that expansion.

It depends on the shell. Bash will expand it in _some_ cases (but not
this one). Dash never will:

  $ echo $BASH_VERSION
  4.1.0(1)-release
  $ echo foo=~/foo ;# expands
  foo=/home/peff/foo

This is wrong, FWIW.

It's a bash extension and disabled in POSIX mode.
