When you commit an incorrect conflict resolution, git rerere gets in the way: 
rerere clear only clears cache entries of not yet resolved conflicts. But 
there is no other way to remove an incorrect resolution short of purging the 
whole rr-cache.

This series implements 'git rerere unresolve' that removes a recorded 
resolution.

This is RFC for two reasons:

- It changes the contents of MERGE_RR in a way that *may* interfer in unwanted 
ways with older versions that do not understand unresolve.

- rerere unresolve also restores the conflict regions. I'm not sure whether 
this is good because there is 'git checkout --conflict=merge file' that does 
it in a better way. See the commit message of patch 3.

If rerere unresolve does *not* restore conflict regions (and record the result 
as preimage right away) we are facing a problem: When the resolution is 
committed, the postimage has differences from the preimage that are not 
related to the conflict. This may inhibit reusing the resolution later when 
the file has new changes.
