I wasn't sure whether to add backticks to status.renames because we are already inconsistent in this file (search for "config option"). Anyway I agree that backticks look better here (makes it bold in the man page).

Maybe we should automate this? We can write a test that makes sure that we always use backticks around config keys, at least for new changes.

I didn't add backticks to "copies" to be consistent with this part before the context

	Ignore changes to submodules when looking for changes. <when> can be
	either "none", "untracked", "dirty" or "all", which is the default.
