From: mhagger@alum.mit.edu Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2012 17:32:09 GMT Subject: [PATCH 1/2] git-config.txt: properly escape quotation marks in example Message-ID: <1345311130-20426-2-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu> In-Reply-To: <1345311130-20426-1-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu> From: Michael Haggerty In the example line as written, gitproxy="proxy-command" for kernel.org the quotation marks are eaten by the config-file parser. From the history, it looks like this example wanted to have quotation marks in the actual configured value. So quote them as required nowadays. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty --- The bigger question is whether this example is improved by including quotation marks, or whether they are just a distraction from the main point. I abstain.
