I was dreaming about having "git rerere infer-from <merge-commit>".  This 
would be

- more versatile, as you do not have to ask the guy to share the cache,

- would avoid transmitting lots of data that can be inferred from the 
  data,

- would avoid relying on the honesty of the person sharing the cache, and

- it would put all license wieners^Wissues at rest.

FWIW this is in my TODO list, but I am unlikely to get to it, least of all 
before 1.5.6 comes out.

Ciao,
Dscho
