When I do ediff-directories and either directory name I supply
contains "~/", indicating my home direcetory, everything works fine
except for
==: for each session, show which files are identical
=h: like ==, but also marks those sessions for hiding
=m: like ==, but also marks those sessions for operation
Which, it turns out, is due to a failure to expand the wildcard when
invoking "cmp" in ediff-same-file-contents.
Here's a patch that fixes it:
