If a hunk has been changed in both branches and conflict resolution
fully takes one of branches, discarding all changes that are in the
other, then the merge is not shown in 3-way diff which git uses by
default.

The advice is to use flag --cc and and explicitly add the mergebase was
given in $gmane/191557. It was discovered though that it does not always
work. If the whole file has not changed at all compared to one of
branches then no difference is shown for this file.

This looks inconsistent and for particular scenario of viewing discarded
changes is undesirable.

Add the test which demonstrates the issue.
