Either you want to have the unmerged entries (so that you *can* view the combined diff), or you do not want to have them (then you obviously cannot view the combined diff between the working tree file and these stages). - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
