The default mode of diff in the case of conflicts is "condensed combined",
which removes "unintersting" changes from the display. AFAIK, there also
exists a mode that is only "combined". I would think that this mode is
much more useful here because it shows the diff to both HEAD and
MERGE_HEADs at the same time.

Only that I don't know how to invoke this mode...
