It's unusual for the current commit to have descendants, but it can
happen. In particular, it can easily happen when you run `jj new`. You
probably don't want to abandon it in those cases.
It's useful for tests, scripts, and debugging to be able to use
specific config instead of the user's config. That's especially true
for our automated tests because they didn't have a place to read
config from on Windows before this patch (they read their config from
`{FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}`, which I don't think we can override in
tests).
I'm a little hesitant to do this because most tools I'm familiar with
have the config file directly in `~/`. It's also easier to describe
where to put the file if it doesn't vary across platforms. But we're
still early in the project, so let's try it and see if we get any
complaints.
I thought that `std::fs::canonicalize()` expanded "~", but it doesn't
seem to do that, which caused #131. Git seems to do the expansion
itself, so we probably also should. More importantly
`std::fs::canonicalize()` crashes when the file doesn't exist. The
manual expansion we do now does not.
Closes#131.
