Yes, I fully understood.

However, when I use a new version of Git (which happens regularly, since I 
pull quite often), I do not update the templates. I guess that many 
distros do not update their templates as often as the core, because they 
are much more likely to be modified distro-specifically. Further, there 
are some platforms which are insane enough that you cannot trust the 
executable bit, and therefore the templates are disabled by default.

All this means that the given patch would not hardly make rerere as 
widespread as I intended.

Yes, templates are nice. But I don't think that templates are the way to 
go for introducing nice features as rr-cache.

Ciao,
Dscho
