This (and everything you said after this paragraph) is not quite correct. What is shown is the pieces that do not match either of the parent. So if you have a conflicted merge and resolve it by taking what one side did literally (think: "merge -X ours"), that hunk becomes uninteresting because the end result matches what one of the parents had. -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
