Well, for example 'git show c0bb110' shows how arch/blackfin/cpu/Makefile was merged as a conflict I had to fixup. The ' -' lines are how the blackfin tree was, the ' +' lines are how master was and '- ' is what came out from the blackfin side and '++' is what came in with my resolution (saved to master) (the ' ' lines are common to both). It's not a diff exactly but it's understandable. -- Tom
