The --global section of git-config(1) currently reads like:
For writing options: write to global /.gitconfig file rather than the
^
start tilde
repository .git/config, write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file if
this file exists and the/.gitconfig file doesn’t.
^
end tilde
Instead of tilde (~) being interpreted literally, asciidoc subscripts
the text between the two tildes. To fix this problem, use backticks (`)
to quote all the paths in the file uniformly, just like config.txt does.
