There is a funny chicken-and-egg problem, though. It limits the search for "Conflicts" by using wt_status_locate_end() based on the current value of comment_line_str. When core.commentstring is set to "auto", the code that reads the configuration does not touch the comment_line_str variable, which is initialized to '#'. So [core] commentstring = '%' commentstring = auto would have '%' in comment_line_str upon entering this codepath, let wt_status_locate_end() use '%' as the comment string to find the end of the log message, and then looks for "Conflicts:" in the result.
