I recently read the docs for 'git-rerere'. Seems a cool feature. But I'm not quite sure whether I understood it right. I think I understood what it does but I didn't understand when to call it.

Is it true that it's not neccessary to issue that command manually when I configured "rerere.enabled true"? The docs say that I *can* call it but it also says that git-merge and git-rebase call it automatically whenever needed.

Thus it seems to be one of the plumbing tools to me, which I only call in case of emergency. Am I right?
