Thank you again, I didn't know that. It is better than what I wrote.

Really? As far as I read the code of git, especially parse_value() in config.c,
it is not necessary to escape '#'s because they are inside of the outermost
doublequotes and they should not be escaped, because \# is an unknown escape
sequence and git rejects them. If #s are escaped, it causes an error as follows:
$ git config --get alias.lr
fatal: bad config file line 29 in /Users/kana/.gitconfig
