I know it is quite late in the game for 1.5.0, but since the theme 
is usability and user-friendliness, I cannot think of a better 
release to enable rerere by default, if that should ever happen.

Comments?

How do I disable rerere by default?

How'd you like it? Should this rather become a config variable, or do 
you want to make a file called "rr-cache" in the templates, which just 
contains a word "disabled"? (git-rerere checks if a _directory_ 
$GIT_DIR/rr-cache exists.)

I suggest a config variable defaulting to "on", able to disable rerere 
even if rr-cache exists.

Okay, but this is a little involved:

$ grep -l rr-cache *.{c,h,sh,perl}
builtin-rerere.c
git-am.sh
git-commit.sh
git-merge.sh
git-rebase.sh
git-reset.sh

So, unless the list agrees that rerere should be enabled by default, I 
will not make a patch to move rerere enabling to the config.

Ciao,
