The way "git stripspace" reads the configuration was not quite kosher, in that the code forgot to probe for a possibly existing repository (note: stripspace is designed to be usable outside the repository as well). It read .git/config only when it was run from the top-level of the working tree by accident. A recent change b9605bc4 ("config: only read .git/config from configured repos", 2016-09-12) stopped reading the repository-local configuration file ".git/config" unless the repository discovery process is done, so that .git/config is never read even when run from the top-level, exposing the old bug more. When rebasing interactively with a commentChar defined in the current repository's config, the help text at the bottom of the edit script potentially used an incorrect comment character. This was not only funny-looking, but also resulted in tons of warnings like this one: Warning: the command isn't recognized in the following line - # Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
