If I use JJ in my existing git clone, and then use the occasional git command, I don't want rerere to be messed up

  In general you don’t want to mix git mutating commands with jj commands. I believe that there might be a way to get jj to resync its understanding of the word, but I’m not sure what it is off the top of my head. In rere’s case specifically, I’d expect you’d just be using jj’s rebase, so it shouldn’t be needed though of course want and need are different things.

    Mmm I see. Getting out of sync sounds very bad! https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAESOdVAspxUJKGAA58i0tvks4ZOfoGf1Aa5gPr0FXzdcywqUUw@mail.gmail.com/T/#u https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAESOdVAspxUJKGAA58i0tvks4ZOfoGf... I hope this happens, because then it seems like far less state would be needed on the jj side.

      It definitely will be nice, but I’m not super heartened by the conversation that ensued. It also doesn’t super change jj itself, in the sense that it still needs to support other backends, but it does simplify the git backend.

        I did not read the whole thread, but I didn't encounter anyone saying "no", just tepid bike-shedding.
