rerere: exit silently on "forget" when rerere is disabled If you run "git rerere forget foo" in a repository that does not have rerere enabled, git hits an internal error: $ git init -q $ git rerere forget foo fatal: BUG: attempt to commit unlocked object The problem is that setup_rerere() will not actually take the lock if the rerere system is disabled. We should notice this and return early. We can return with a success code here, because we know there is nothing to forget.
