I suggest a config variable defaulting to "on", able to disable rerere even if
rr-cache exists. So the var has at least theoretical use also after a
repo is created.
I'll put it in templates config then, and modify existing repos to
switch it "off"
(so I always have it mentioned in the configs).
Newbies, who don't have it own templates, wont even notice it.
Unless it is put into the generated config, that is: like
core.logallrefupdates -
it can be in templates config, or git-init writes it.
