I would have to caution against doing so without thinking, though.
In other words, it is OK if you are Andreas who knows what he is
doing, but it is not a very good advice to give to random newbies.

"rerere" will apply whatever matching previous resolution, which may
hopefully be the correct resolution this time too, but it is a good
habit to get into to double check if such a merely textual side-port
of previous resolution is really applicable to the current conflict.
