conflict status

Hi all

I'm merging two branches with a large number of conflicts.  
Fortunately, there are many modified/deleted conflicts (locally  
modified, remotely deleted), and I know that for those I want to pick  
the deleted version. However, I can't seem to motivate GIT into  
telling me for which of the conflicting files this is the case. I know  
that git-mergetool somehow extracts this information, but looking at  
the code, it seems to me that there must be an easier, user-level  
method of obtaining this information.

Generally speaking, I would like to know for each file with a conflict  
what it's status is, similar to what SVN does:
- locally modified/created/deleted/...
- remotely modified/created/deleted/...

Please excuse me if this is either trivial or has been answered many  
times before, but neither perusing the man-pages, nor asking google  
turned up anything remotely useful.

Thanks for the help

Michael
