[PATCH v2] git-config.1: fix description of --regexp in synopsis

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date

Message-ID
<xmqq4j77jf1i.fsf@gitster.g>

The synopsis says --regexp=<regexp> but the --regexp option is a Boolean that says "the name given is not literal, but a pattern to match the name".

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

 * t0450 strikes again X-<.  This should pass that test.
