I think the proper way of finding rr-cache would be:


function rr_cache_dir
{
	echo $(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/rr-cache
}


If you are OK with it I can prepare patch. In fact since the function is
used only in update_rerere_cache, it could be squashed there:

function update_rerere_cache
{
        echo -n "Updating rerere cache... "
        pull_rerere_cache

        local rr_cache_dir=$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/rr-cache

        ...

}


Is this approach OK?
