Subject: [PATCH] config: tell the user that we expect an ASCII character

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2023 21:43:44 +0200

Commit 50b54fd72a (config: be strict on core.commentChar, 2014-05-17)
notes that “multi-byte character encoding could also be misinterpreted”,
and indeed a multi-byte codepoint (non-ASCII) is not accepted as a valid
`core.commentChar`.
