[tooling] Repeatedly resolving identical merge conflicts during long-lived branch rebases or merges

Enable git config --global rerere.enabled true to automatically record conflict resolutions and replay them when identical conflict hunks reappear, eliminating repetitive manual resolution

Journey Context:
Without rerere, developers resolving the same conflict patterns across multiple rebases or integration branches waste significant time. Many are unaware of the feature. The alternative is manual resolution or avoiding rebasing. Rerere \(Reuse Recorded Resolution\) stores the conflict hunks and their resolution; when identical conflicts appear, it applies the recorded resolution automatically. This is critical for maintaining release branches or long-running feature branches where the same upstream changes cause repeated conflicts.
