Except when you are doing a large merge, your terminal scrollback
is really short, and there's a lot of conflicts.  Then you can't
see what merge said about any given file.  :-(

Fortunately its easy to back out of the merge and redo it with
large enough scrollback, or redirecting it to a file for later
review, but its annoying that we don't save that information off
for later review.
