[tooling] Resolving identical merge conflicts repeatedly during long-lived branch maintenance or rebasing

Enable git config --global rerere.enabled true; Git automatically records and re-uses conflict resolutions without prompting

Journey Context:
Most developers manually resolve the same conflict multiple times when rebasing or merging complex feature branches. Rerere \(reuse recorded resolution\) silently records the resolution state and automatically applies it when it detects a geometrically identical conflict hunk. This is critical for long-running branches or maintaining patch queues where you might rebase the same commits multiple times before final merge.
