You have a new enough Git (2.54.0) that you can use `core.commentString` if you like. And with that you can set it to a string that you would never type yourself.

That’s more of an assurance than `core.commentChar` which was limited to one ASCII character.

No, no new version necessary. It wasn’t my intention to make a reroll out of a molehill.
