From: Junio C Hamano Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2015 21:33:17 GMT Subject: [PATCH v2 1/7] Documentation/config.txt: avoid unnecessary negation Message-ID: <1425504803-16039-2-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com> In-Reply-To: <1425504803-16039-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com> Section names and variable names are both case-insensitive, but one is described as "not case sensitive". Use "case-insensitive" for both. Instead of saying "... have to be escaped" without telling what that escaping achieves, state it in a more positive way, i.e. "... can be included by escaping".
