Perhaps an approach similar to the 'notes' implementation can be used,
in which a separate branch is created to contain the notes. This way
the rerere information (being the 'rerere' branch) can be shared
easily (by just pulling the branch), and as said we get free
compression. Another advantage would be that you automagically get the
ability to unlearn a bad rerere by simply (partially) reverting a
commit on the rerere branch!
