[PATCH v2 1/7] Documentation/config.txt: avoid unnecessary negation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Section names and variable names are both case-insensitive, but one
is described as "not case sensitive".  Use "case-insensitive" for
both.

Instead of saying "... have to be escaped" without telling what that
escaping achieves, state it in a more positive way, i.e. "... can be
included by escaping".
