+revert-rerere *rerere-chache-commit-ish*
+----------------------------------------
+
+When a stored conflict resolution in the integration tree this command can be
+used to fix up the mess. First figure out which commit in the *rerere-cache*
+branch contains the bogus conflict resolution, then revert it using this
+command. This ensures the resolution is also purged from any local caches, to
+make sure it doesn't get resurrected. Then run *rebuild-nightly* to redo the
+merges, correctly.
