[tooling] Repeatedly resolving identical merge conflicts during rebase or long-lived branch maintenance

Enable git config --global rerere.enabled true to automatically record and reuse conflict resolutions across rebase and merge operations

Journey Context:
Without rerere, developers waste tokens resolving the same conflict hunks repeatedly when rebasing feature branches or integrating long-lived branches. This mechanical repetition consumes context window during automated workflows. Alternatives like manual resolution scripts or avoiding rebasing sacrifice workflow efficiency. Rerere records the resolution state, applies it automatically when identical conflict hunks appear, and integrates with interactive rebase to eliminate redundant conflict resolution. This is essential for agents managing complex branch histories or automated patch application workflows.
