Subject: [PATCH v3] Documentation/git-config.txt: reword missleading sentence
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2017 22:27:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171018202716.13313-1-nathan.payre@etu.univ-lyon1.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqqvajjuudo.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com>

Change the word "bla" to "section.variable", "bla" is a placeholder
for a variable name and it wasn't clear for everyone.  This change
clarify it.

Change the appearance of 'git config section.variable {tilde}/' to
`git config section.variable ~/` to harmonize it with the rest of the
file, this is a command line then the "`" are necessary.

Replace "git-config" by "git config" because the command is not
"git-config".

Change since v2: use ~ within backquote instead of {tilde}.
Backquoting of 'git config', '~', '$HOME' and '~user' for more
coherence.
