From: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 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 <mhagger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- 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.
