[awaelchli]

What does this PR do?

If the user provides ModelCheckpoint(dirpath="~/checkpoints"), the path doesn't get expanded. Instead, it creates the folder with name ~ in the current working directory.

TIL that realpath doesn't resolve ~.

You might want to double check if this would be a welcome change in other places that we call realpath

[awaelchli]

Yes that's right @carmocca, there will be other places that benefit from this. For example Trainer(default_root_dir). Opened an issue: #19059
