Look at the bottom summary of this message for a brief summary:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/15486/focus=15527
If you want to know more about how the multi-way diff is condensed, you
would find this message from Linus in the same thread illuminating:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/15486/focus=15600
(Ignore the bottom part where Linus complains about gitk output---the old
implementation in gitk has gone long time ago).
And also this one, again from Linus:
