If you mean the resolution preview (that is you said "after merge with
conflict", but what you meant was really "during a merge with conflict, I
haven't recorded the final resolution with git-add yet"), I often find
these two useful:

	What change does the other branch brought to my tree anyway?
	$ git diff HEAD -- that-file

	What did we do to the other branch?
	$ git diff MERGE_HEAD -- that-file
