Requiring an absolute one was simply wrong. `scp file host:db-backups/fofos/`
lands under the remote account's home — that is what every ssh tool does, and
what anybody typing a destination expects, since the home directory is the one
place they are certain to be able to write.
What is still refused is unchanged and is the part that matters: the characters
a shell would act on. This value IS interpreted remotely, since `ssh host
mkdir -p <path>` runs through a shell, so they are rejected rather than escaped
— refusing is checkable by reading the function, escaping is checkable only by
being right about every shell.
The summary shows a relative destination as ~/… because that is where it lands.
