Describe the issue

I used git config --global core.commentChar ";" to set commentChar to ";". I tried to commit with git - it worked. I tried to commit with but - it showed me # as a commentChar instead of ;. I tried something at least with but and wrote but config --global core.commentChar ";" - and of course I got error, because commentChar as a parameter isn't implemented

How to reproduce (Optional)

  1. Set another commentChar - e. g. git config --global core.commentChar ";"
  2. Try to commit anything with but
  3. Got comments with #

Expected behavior (Optional)

  1. Set another commentChar - e. g. git config --global core.commentChar ";"
  2. Try to commit anything with but
  3. Get comments with ;
