[tooling] Repeatedly resolving the same merge conflicts during rebase or branch sync

Enable git config --global rerere.enabled true to automatically record and reuse conflict resolutions across rebases and merges.

Journey Context:
Without rerere, developers waste hours re-resolving identical conflicts when squashing, rebasing, or syncing long-lived branches. Many enable it locally per repo but forget to global config. The tradeoff is slight disk usage for the recorded resolutions. Alternatives like merge commits avoid the conflict but pollute history.
