Readers who don't have any context around GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS and what
it does will have a bit of a hard time making much sense of this, I
think. It usually helps to give a sentence or two explaining what the
infra even does, and what this quoting looks like.

Will do. It is how "git -c key=value" reaches the child processes: a
space separated list of 'key'='value' pairs, each side single quoted,
that git_config_from_parameters() reads back. I'll say that in the
message.

Pointing to that other function makes sense, but neither of the
functions documents the actual format that's used.

I'll put the format in the header comment as well.

Thanks,
Thomas
