Does git rerere expose information about how frequently different conflicts are used? Or how frequently the feature is used overall?
git has the ability to remember resolutions to previous conflicts and apply them in the future (called rerere).
I used this feature once a long time ago, but disabled it after it remembered and kept reapplying a merge conflict that I had resolved incorrectly.
These days I make much fewer mistakes when resolving conflicts, work with smaller commits, and rebase unshared work very frequently, so I'm trying rerere out again.
I'd like to be able to see how often it's being triggered.
The source code that implements this feature is here.
Rerere has some neat stuff, like garbage collection, which seems to limit how far into the future a recorded resolution can be applied? Or perhaps the lack-of-use deadline after which it will be lazily GC'd (similar to how gc works for ordinary git objects)?
