Using tilde in file:// URL

Hi, everyone.

 I do this:

 $ cd ~
 $ svnadmin create myrepo
 $ svn co file:///Users/Richard/myrepo repo

 Now, is it possible for me to somehow shorten that file:// URL to include the working directory or home directory?

 TIA,

 Richard

You don't ever use URLs to reference the working copy, so that's a moot point.

To shorten the URL when checking out? You've already done 3/4 of the
steps here, it would have taken you less time to try it yourself than
to send this email. It doesn't work on 1.6.16 on Snow Leopard.
