show_conflicts should probably become something else in the long run
anyway (merge --preview or something?), so that doesn't bother me, and
I do like 'show' better than 'view'.  Maybe we should just go with
that.

Anyone want to implement it?  Should probably have almost no code of
its own, just share code with log (which might need a touch of
refactoring first to make that easy).
