+#
+# The flow roughly goes like this:
+#
+# $ git pull . test
+# Auto-merging frotz
+# fatal: merge program failed
+# Automatic merge failed; fix up by hand
+# $ git rere
+# Recorded preimage for 'frotz'
+# $ edit frotz ;# resolve by hand
+# $ git rere
+# Recorded resolution for 'frotz'
+# $ build/test/have fun
+# $ git reset --hard ;# decide to keep working
+# $ ... ;# maybe even make more commits on "master"
+#
+# Later
+#
+# $ git pull . test
+# Auto-merging frotz
+# fatal: merge program failed
+# Automatic merge failed; fix up by hand
+# $ git rere
+# Resolved 'frotz' using previous resolution.
