You have your original in stage #2, so you should be able to "restore-path --stage=2 --from-stage path..." them. Once the contents are auto-resolved cleanly, however, the cached contents are automaticaly updated to the auto-resolved result, and it needs more work to reverse the effect of the merge (it is doable, of course, as you know exactly the contents of the switched-to branch and the contents of the switching-from branch, so it is just the matter of running 3-way merge in the right direction to recover what used to be in the working tree).
