The current implementation of vcs_rootpath.sh shows \~ instead of just ~.
This is due to ~ being handled differently in parameter substitution within double quotes on older bash (e.g. bash-3.2 like in macOS) as in recent versions.
While on newer bash versions the behaviour is the same, regardless if ~ being used in parameter substitution w/ or w/o double quotes ("${a/*/~}" or ${a/*/~}) and the ~ is expanded in both cases if not escaped with \, on the older bash version, it is only expanded w/o double quotes, but not w/ them.
This is why we need to change the following lines in vcs_rootpath.sh:
