From 4fc970c43884e6215c13d6944a2def1eb2134ed5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2007 22:24:47 -0800
Subject: [PATCH] diff --cc: fix display of symlink conflicts during a merge.

"git-diff-files --cc" to show conflicts during merge did not pass
the correct mode information for the working tree down, and showed
bogus combined diff.
