Subject: [PATCH] t4200: drop irrelevant code
Message-ID: <20220718154322.2177166-1-martin.agren@gmail.com>

```
While setting up an unresolved merge for `git rerere`, we run `git
rev-parse` and `git fmt-merge-msg` to create a variable `$fifth` and a
commit-message file `msg`, which we then never actually use. This has
been like that since these tests were added in 672d1b789b ("rerere:
migrate to parse-options API", 2010-08-05). This does exercise `git
rev-parse` and `git fmt-merge-msg`, but doesn't contribute to testing
`git rerere`. Drop these lines.

 This is quite late fallout from Eric's review [1] of some commits that
 have already gone in.

Very well reasoned.

Thanks for following up on this. The patch looks fine.
