### Please describe the problem.
git-annex prefixes all paths used with SSH remotes with a /, which breaks the default git behavior of using the home directory by default.

### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Start an SSH server. Use it as a remote with a URL like annex@localhost:test.git or annex@localhost:~/test.git.

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
NixOS

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
Yes, I use it on my laptop without issues. I'm trying to set up a server on my desktop.
