From: Michael Haggerty <mhag...@alum.mit.edu>

In the example line as written,

        gitproxy="proxy-command" for kernel.org

the quotation marks are eaten by the config-file parser.  From the
history, it looks like this example wanted to have quotation marks in
the actual configured value.  So quote them as required nowadays.

The bigger question is whether this example is improved by including
quotation marks, or whether they are just a distraction from the main
point.  I abstain.
