Subject: [PATCH 2/1] Documentation/config.txt: Correct info about subsection name
Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2007 15:14:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11696480732656-git-send-email-jnareb@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11694795473648-git-send-email-jnareb@gmail.com>

Contrary to variable values, in subsection names parsing character
escape codes (besides literal escaping of " as \", and \ as \\)
is not performed; subsection name cannot contain newlines.
