I found it is #. Any other way? – Forby

That link has nothing to do with Drupal's info files. – Matherly

Update: Drupal 8 is slated to use YAML instead of the Drupal-specific .info file format. YAML uses # comments (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML) – Olav

Answer 2

The character used as comment delimiter is reported in Writing .info files (Drupal 6.x):

info files may contain comments. The comment character is the semi-colon and denotes a comment at the beginning of a line. CVS Ids used to be placed at the head of info files using a semicolon, but now that Drupal.org has moved to git they are no longer included.

The equivalent book page for Drupal 7 (Writing .info files (Drupal 7.x)) reports the following sentence:

info files may contain comments. A semi-colon [;] placed at the beginning of a line makes that line a comment, and that line will not be parsed.
