title: Why does this line cause a syntax error for my .gitconfigure file?
body: <p>I'm trying to set up my <code>git log</code> command to automatically format the way I want to. Under the <code>[pretty]</code> section, below, git says there is an error in my syntax but I don't understand what it is. I'm following the man page as closely as possible.</p>
