Oct 8, 2015 at 12:09 comment added Piotr Dobrogost So what? Both instances of ~ are expanded and the whole invocation is not working as expected only because the last argument in case of using -C should have been given as relative path but instead is given as absolute path. Using ~ here does not matter at all.
Oct 8, 2015 at 10:43 comment added symcbean No - look at the original question - the last argument is an absolute path.
Oct 8, 2015 at 8:49 comment added Piotr Dobrogost Explanation is wrong. It doesn't matter here that ~ is expanded by shell. What matters is that -C changes current working directory as explained in anwer by Lekensteyn.
