 We're using an internal hackage server, and the Hackage.Config.parseRepo
 function has been a small hurdle. It does not allow tildes in the URL for
 the repo, yet obtaining a URL without a tilde requires us to participate
 in some people process.

 I bounced the request off Lemmih, and he thinks it's just an oversight.

 I've attached a patch.
