By default, the rerere machinery has been disabled since a bug in
the machinery could screw up the end user's data at the most
stressful time during the end user's workday (i.e. during conflict
resolution).

It however has been in wide use without causing much trouble (other
than, obviously, replaying a broken conflict resolution that was
recorded earlier when the user made a mismerge), and it is about
time to enable it by default.
That is a good diea.

But did you really come up with it all by yourself?

Could perhaps this mail [1] sent 5 days prior have anything to do with it?
If the defaults make your life hard, then shouldn't we change the
defaults?
But, if we are already on this topic... who wants rerere disabled by
default?
Cheers.
