Comments are nothing new, and humans have added far crazier comments to their Git config in the past. The patch ensures that a '#' precedes the comments added using git-config, which is not guaranteed to happen when Joe Random User manually edits config files. I think that anybody incapable of reliably dealing with comments in config files would already have fallen flat on his/her nose, regardless of how those comments were made. > I worry that this might unintentionally introduce incompatibilities > into repository configurations.
