When merging a topic X into 'seen', I can review "log -p ..MERGE_HEAD" and keep the core changes the topic wants to do in my head while reviewing the conflicting parts, but this is the other "log -p MERGE_HEAD.." direction where all the little cuts _other_ topics inflicted on the codebase before an attempted merge, and something seemingly benign and well intended change like "well nobody passes -1 to ask us to count _now_, so let's drop the feature without even bothering to check nobody does so in the future" can easily be missed.
