Re: [PATCH v3] difftool --dir-diff: allow changing any clean working tree file

However, the set of files to be copied back is computed
differently between --symlinks and --no-symlinks modes.  The
former checks all paths that start out as identical to the
working tree file, while the latter checks paths that
already had a local modification in the working tree,
allowing changes made in the tree diff program to paths that
did not have any local change to be lost.
