We have a working implementation of rerere since long ago, and we even
make sure that it works as expected in a test case.  It is also a very
useful feature, so why not turn it on for the benefit of users who are
not even aware of it? This patch does that.

Maybe just create in template directory?

Sounds saner.

Does it?

I had the impression that the templates are meant for site-specific 
modifications. My patch tried to make it more standard than that.

For example, you _could_ have set core.logallrefupdates from the 
templates, yet you chose not to, but rather hard-wire it into "git init". 
Which I completely agree to.

I think what Alex meant is this.
