```
For example, for the [status
command](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-status), I would like to set a
value for the `find-renames` option in `~/.gitconfig`. To so so, I
tried the following with no avail:

[status]
        findRenames = 5%

[status]
        findrenames = 5%

[status]
        find--renames = 5%

Is it possible to set a value for the `find-renames` option of the
`status` command in `~/.gitconfig`?

```

There doesn't seem to be such a configuration:
