Add git-unresolve <paths>...
This is an attempt to address the issue raised on #git channel recently by Carl Worth. After a conflicted automerge, "git diff" shows a combined diff to give you how the tentative automerge result differs from what came from each branch. During a complex merge, it is tempting to be able to resolve a few paths at a time, mark them "I've dealt with them" with git-update-index to unclutter the next "git diff" output, and keep going. However, when the final result does not compile or otherwise found to be a mismerge, the workflow to fix the mismerged paths suddenly changes to "git diff HEAD -- path" (to get a diff from our HEAD before merging) and "git diff MERGE_HEAD -- path" (to get a diff from theirs), and it cannot show the combined anymore. With git-unresolve <paths>..., the versions from our branch and their branch for specified blobs are placed in stage #2 and stage #3, without touching the working tree files. This gives you the combined diff back for easier review, along with "diff --ours" and "diff --theirs". One thing it does not do is to place the base in stage #1; this means "diff --base" would behave differently between the run immediately after a conflicted three-way merge, and the run after an update-index by mistake followed by a git-unresolve. We could theoretically run merge-base between HEAD and MERGE_HEAD to find which tree to place in stage #1, but reviewing "diff --base" is not that useful so....
