Is there another character or char sequence you would recommend instead
of ~~?

You have probably configured Subversion to ignore filenames ending in
tilde. Subversion is configured this way by default, because some
editors save backup files with filenames ending with tilde, and since
that's just a poor-man's version control, you wouldn't want to import
those into a real version control system like Subversion.

Look in ~/.subversion/config for the line starting with "global-
ignores". It probably contains something like "*~" which means
"ignore all files ending with tilde."
