Hmm. "the differences" is technically correct in that it shows the
commits on the diverged histories, but I suspect it would be more
understandable if we used more explicit wording, like:

	After an attempt to merge stops with conflicts, show the commits
	on the history between two branches (i.e. the HEAD and the
	MERGE_HEAD) that modify the conflicted files.
