[MSYS BUG][Reason Discovered] ~ is resolved to msys home instead of remote home

[Merith-TK]

NOTICE: This first post is for when using sshcode user@server ~/X paths,

DISCLAIMER: This example was shown to affect both sshcode 10 builds and custom builds that use code-server 3.X

When you feed sshcode ~/ instead of "~/", it will attempt to use the local ~/ path. for example if your user is merith and the remote user is developer when you feed sshcode ~/Workspace it will attempt to open /home/merith/Workspace instead of /home/developer/Workspace

output from a shell giving this error

What fixes this.

These work

sshcode user@server "~/Workspace"
sshcode user@server \~/Workspace
sshcode user@server Workspace
sshcode user@server /opt/Workspace
sshcode user@server /home/user/Workspace

This dont work

sshcode user@server ~/Workspace

Notice: this is for if gitbashWindowsDir() is not properly handling paths,

Still under investigation

$ go run ./ developer@192.168.115 --skipsync "~/Workspace"
