It is important to note that my implementation does not engage in "moving comments around" at all. It merely supports adding comment suffixes to config lines *while they are created by git-config*. No after-the-fact comment manipulation is done. There are no multiline comments involved either, which I should have mentioned from the get-go. The limited scope of my proposal is deliberate, and aimed at avoiding possible problems based on the design alone. -Ralph
