Actually the bug is not as simple as you might think.

It would be trivial to fix Nautilus/GVFS to map the URL
sftp://[email protected] to sftp://[email protected]/home/mikko.

However this violates the URI specification RFC r3986 as discussed in
the upstream https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561998

sftp://[email protected]

should be same as

sftp://[email protected]/

which is effective the server root folder.

Command-line SFTP does not respect URI specification in the first place.

The suggested fix was to have sftp://[email protected] to do a "SFTP
specific redirect" to sftp://[email protected]/home/mikko.
