feature request: use HOME before getpwnam() in misc.c
it's really^3 annoying that no matter the value of $HOME, that tilde_expand_filename() only looks at getpwnam() and friends instead of at least trying getenv("HOME").
What is the use case?
HOME=longpath_to_config1
ssh -i ~/.ssh/key1
HOME=longpath_to_config2
ssh -i ~/.ssh/key2
but getpwnam() defeats this by always accessing what's in the passwd file. So .ssh/known_hosts is likewise read/written outside of $HOME/.ssh/ and the config files too don't remain in local scope.
Sure 99% of users $HOME = pw->pw_dir, but there are a zillion programs...

If you run things like that, the "~" is not expanded by ssh but by your shell.
Try "echo ~/"...
