Subject: [BUG] can not escape sharps in git config file

Hi everyone,

I stumbled on this:

config file:

[filter "kicad_sch"]
        clean = sed -E 's/#(PWR|FLG)[0-9]+/#\1?/'
        smudge = cat

Then in the shell:

± git add -u
sed -E 's/: 1: sed -E 's/: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
error: external filter sed -E 's/ failed 2
error: external filter sed -E 's/ failed

It seems that the  # is used for end-of-line comments and can not be
escaped, even in quotes or backslash.
