usermod change home directory no tilde

[No Name]

I believe usermod is in the passwd package.

Running `sudo usermod -d /home/username username` will result in correct terminal output as `username@hostname:~$`

But running `sudo usermod -d /home/username/ username` will output `username@/home/username:~$`, since usermod does not drop the trailing forward slash and the string "/home/username/" does not match with "/home/username".

This is a result of tab completion causing the extra forward slash. This bug is purely cosmetic.
