        the current conflict to update the files in the working

Minor: should this adjacent be linkgit too? I thought yes, but on
second read we really are talking about the command.

Anyway, agreed that rerere should get linked. Thanks!
The `git add`? Good question. I considered it. At first it seemed like
too much of a “apply this command”, if that even makes sense. But now I
think rendering it as

    separate git-add(1).

Makes sense.

Thanks for taking a look. :)
