Here's what I found on the potential drawbacks:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5519244/are-there-any-downsides-to-enabling-git-rerere

IIUC the main problem is rerere might resolve conflicts that textually
look the same but were semantically different 

Note that when rerere does its work, it leaves no conflict markers but
the changes are still left uncommitted and you can review them.

I'll trust you. I'm 100% not english native.
