If I was walking in your shoes, I would essentially recreate the merge conflicts and then use "git diff <merge-commit>" with the resolved merge in your current history. Something like this: ```bash mergecommit=$1 # probably should verify that the working directory is clean, yadda yadda # recreate merge conflicts on an unnamed branch (Git speak: detached HEAD) git checkout $mergecommit^ git merge $mergecommit^2 || die "This merge did not have any problem!" # compare to the actual resolution as per the merge commit git diff $mergecommit ``` To list all the merge commits in the current branch, I would use the command-line: ```bash git rev-list --author="My Colleague" --parents HEAD | sed -n 's/ .* .*//p' ``` (i.e. listing all the commits with their parents, then filtering just the ones having more than one parent, which would include octopus merges if your history has them.) Hopefully this gives you good ideas how to proceed.
