[PATCH] combine-diff: diff-files fix.

When showing a conflicted merge from index stages and working tree file, we did not fetch the mode from the working tree, and mistook that as a deleted file. Also if the manual resolution (or automated resolution by git rerere) ended up taking either parent's version, we did not show _anything_ for that path. Either was quite bad and confusing.
