No, because rerere only helps to recall a prior conflict resolution. Here Steven is talking about having rebase intelligently realize that the upstream has accepted a patch, but did so by modifying it first. There really isn't a solution to the problem. pg tried to do this by applying several patches at once until something matched. If the upstream fixed a line like "a=b" to be "a = b" then this would *never* match, and pg would abort. StGIT runs the patches backwards. A much smarter approach then what pg tried to do, but again, "a = b" would never match. -- Shawn. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
