Emacs behaves like what you see on all systems: grep reports the
absolute file names, and Emacs does not convert them back to ~/foo.
But even if we make that change, I doubt that you will see ~/foo in
your case, because Emacs doesn't know about the /cygdrive/c/ wizardry,
unless cygwin-mount will help it. And cygwin-mount isn't part of
Emacs, so we cannot fix it to support that.
And Grep cannot keep the ~/foo notation at all, because ~ is a shell
construct; applications and filesystems don't understand it, in
general (Emacs is an exception).
