The fix may be correct but the comment above the part the patch fixes is very misleading and I wasted a few minutes checking to see what it is doing is correct. The "quote" variable does not really control quoting; the quoting with backslash is always done for the value, and this check is about adding a dq pair around it, so that the parser does not lose leading or trailing SP or string after start-of-comment marker characters. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
