[PATCH v2] git-config.1: fix description of --regexp in synopsis

[PATCH v2] git-config.1: fix description of --regexp in synopsis

[Junio C Hamano]

The synopsis says --regexp=<regexp> but the --regexp option is a
Boolean that says "the name given is not literal, but a pattern to
match the name".

 * t0450 strikes again X-<.  This should pass that test.
