I see. Have you perhaps spotted a flaw in the patch which might cause
problems? If so, I'd like to address it.

It is important to note that my implementation does not engage in
"moving comments around" at all. It merely supports adding comment
suffixes to config lines *while they are created by git-config*. No
after-the-fact comment manipulation is done. There are no multiline
comments involved either, which I should have mentioned from the get-go.
The limited scope of my proposal is deliberate, and aimed at avoiding
possible problems based on the design alone.
