FWIW, before deciding to accept the patch, I did check if
git-rerere.adoc included this file (it didn't), but if we can make
the macro smarter to do so, it would be great, as that would avoid
people including this file there later without realizing that they
now need to make the mark-up conditional.

This particular patch does not have to be blocked waiting for such
an improvement, though, right?
