That reads better.

But I am not sure about the wisdom of controlling between conflict
and true with this feature macro in the first place.

Between "conflict" and "true", the former forces the end user to
verify (or allows the end user to veto) the auto resolution by the
heuristics and is always a safer if more cumbersome option.  It's
not like blindly trusting the directory rename heuristics is the
bright future for all users, is it?

I would not set rerere.autoUpdate to true when feature.experimental
is set; for exactly the same reason, I do not find it reasonable to
set this to true with feature.experimental macro.
