Adds a test > to prevent regressions. Good spotting. Two observations. (1) There are a few more places that need similar treatment in the same file; you may want to fix them all while at it. (2) The second argument to strbuf_commented_addf() is always the comment_line_char global variable, not just inside this file but all callers across the codebase. We probably should drop it and have the strbuf_commented_addf() helper itself refer to the global. That way, if we ever want to change the global variable reference to something else (e.g. function call), we only have to touch a single place. The latter is meant as #leftoverbits and will be a lot wider clean-up that we may want to do long after this patch hits out codebase. The "other places" I spotted for the former are the following, but needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt, as it has not even been compile tested.
