While setting up an unresolved merge for `git rerere`, we run `git rev-parse` and `git fmt-merge-msg` to create a variable `$fifth` and a commit-message file `msg`, which we then never actually use. This has been like that since these tests were added in 672d1b789b ("rerere: migrate to parse-options API", 2010-08-05). This does exercise `git rev-parse` and `git fmt-merge-msg`, but doesn't contribute to testing `git rerere`. Drop these lines.
