This is a pending feature request for Bazaar to provide a syntax for 
referring to paths relative to the home directory.  See 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/224400 for more discussion.

I've thought about trying to fix it before, but it is sufficiently 
low-level that I've never felt confident in where to make the change. 
If someone wanted to comment on the bug with a recommended approach, I'd 
take a shot at coding it up.
