Clarify that --recurse-submodules cannot be used together with --untracked, and improve the formatting in a couple of places, to make it visually clear that those are the commands or the names of configuration options.
While there, change a couple of "<tree>" placeholders to "_<tree>_", to help with an ongoing translation improvement effort. [1]

Notes:
Changes in v3:
- No changes were introduced
Changes in v2:
- No changes were introduced
This patch is salvaged from my earlier series, [2] for which it has been
concluded to be not acceptable for merging, because of possible issues
with various git scripts. [3]
Compared to the version in the earlier series, this version adds some more
small formatting improvements of the same kind, and also changes a couple
of "<tree>" placeholders to "_<tree>_", as suggested by Eric Sunshine. [1]
