doc: git-config: escape erroneous highlight markup
Paired octothorpes are used in AsciiDoc to mark highlighted text, <mark> being the equivalent HTML tag. To use the symbol as a literal character, it can be escaped with backticks. Do so in git-config.adoc. While at it, tweak the text slightly to make it scan better. Signed-off-by: Tuomas Ahola <taahol@utu.fi> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
