IMHO it only makes sense when you have a short list of conflicted files.
I mostly work on Java projects and when we merge a branch this list can
be very long. This is caused by several tools, different IDEs, different OSes
and so on and so forth. Anyway...
What I want to see on a merge like this is the shortlog. I only become
interested in
the conflicts if there is an issue in the software caused by a
conflict resolution.
Just my experience on Java projects I'm working on.
