Btw, this example misses the whole point of the original problem.

The original problem was:

 - create new file 'x' in branch 'a'

 - merge branch 'a' into branch 'b', but because of a merge conflict and 
   confurion in the merge, the merge result doesn't contain 'x' any more.

 - try to find out what happened to 'x' after-the-fact.

Try it. Git really doesn't make it very easy, because git will notice that 
'x' didn't exist before the branch either (in branch 'b'), so there will 
be _no_ sign of 'x' actually going away.
