Yes, that´s correct, but the diff3 is used to actually _detect_ the
conflicts. That is, the diff3 is executed before the available options
per file in conflict are displayed (e.g. e, df, mf, etc). What I´m
looking for is the output generated by the df option. In this case a
"normal" diff is executed, but obviously in some different way from the
full-blown diff-command.
I will file an enhancement request for this one, it's actually just a
convenience issue.
