Perhaps:

  If 'before' is renamed to 'after' then src_entry will contain
  the versions of 'before' from the merge_base, HEAD, and MERGE in
  stages 1, 2, and 3; and dst_entry will contain the respective versions of
  'after' in corresponding locations.  Thus, we have a total of six modes
  and oids, though some will be null.  (Stage 0 is ignored; we're interested
  in handling conflicts.)

I find that much easier to read, though I am biased with prior knowledge now. ;)
