    rerere "remaining" · ac49f5ca

    After "rerere" resolves conflicts by reusing old resolution, there would
    be three kinds of paths with conflict in the index:
    
     * paths that have been resolved in the working tree by rerere;
     * paths that need further work whose resolution could be recorded;
     * paths that need resolving that rerere won't help.
    
    When the user wants a list of paths that need hand-resolving, output from
    "rerere status" does not help, as it shows only the second category, but
    the paths in the third category still needs work (rerere only makes sense
    for regular files that have both our side and their side, and does not
    help other kinds of conflicts, e.g. "we modified, they deleted").
    
    The new subcommand "rerere remaining" can be used to show both. As
    opposed to "rerere status", this subcommand also skips printing paths
    that have been added to the index, since these paths are already
    resolved and are no longer "remaining".
    
    Initial patch provided by Junio. Refactored and modified to skip
    resolved paths by Martin. Commit message mostly by Junio.
