From 05c3e5c7719a4b25237d00a696877bdd47488678 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2015 20:03:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/config.txt: avoid unnecessary negation 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".
