Documentation/config.txt: describe the structure first and then meaning
A line can be continued via a backquote-LF and can be chomped at a comment character. But that is not specific to string-typed values. It is common to all, just like unquoted leading and trailing whitespaces are stripped and inter-word spacing are retained. Move the description around and desribe these structural rules first, then introduce the double-quote facility as a way to override them, and finally mention various types of values. Note that these structural rules only apply to the value part of the configuration file. E.g. [aSection] \ name \ = value does not work, because the rules kick in only after seeing "name =". Both the original and the updated text are phrased in an awkward way by singling out the "value" part of the line because of this. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
