Junio C Hamano cb54fc93e4 doc: clarify rerere-autoupdate
The "--[no-]rerere-autoupdate" option controls what happens _after_
the rerere mechanism kicks in to reuse recorded resolutions and does
not prevent from the rerere mechanism to trigger in the first place.

It is unclear in the current text if "--no-rerere-autoupdate" stops
the auto-resolution.  Rewrite the sentence to clarify.

--rerere-autoupdate::
--no-rerere-autoupdate::
After the rerere mechanism reuses a recorded resolution on
the current conflict to update the files in the working
tree, allow it to also update the index with the result of
resolution. `--no-rerere-autoupdate` is a good way to
double-check what `rerere` did and catch potential
mismerges, before committing the result to the index with a
separate `git add`.
