Re: [PATCH] Fix git_config_set() for mean cases

There were problems when the keys´ case didn´t match, and also when the

This patch also adds a test case, so you see that it works now.

Why do you spell apostrophe with 0xb4 not ASCII 0x27?  Not that
it matters because I'll apply it with -u flag to git-am to
convert it to UTF-8 in the log message, but I am just curious.

Not to mention the fact that it's just plain wrong -- U+00B4 is accute 
accent, not apostrophe.

Efficiency. I often do the patches on my iBook w/ German keyboard. The 
apostrophe 0xb4 (upward accent) is just beside my back space key, i.e. in 
a favorite location for my right little finger.

OTOH, 0x27 (the real apostrophe) is just beside the Enter key, which is 
the only key Apple made too small. Way too small. So I try to avoid that 
key, since I hit it by accident already too often. Furthermore, on the 
German keyboard you have to hold Shift down for the apostrophe, while you 
do not for 0xb4.

Besides, the character is there, so why not use it? ;-)

Ciao,

Because on German keyboards these two characters are right next to each
other, I'd suspect...

It reminds me of when people typed "l" instead of "1" because typewriters
didn't have a "1".

In that manner, it's just plain wrong.
