Describe the feature

Saving a multi-buffer which has file conflicts does not inform the user of which files have conflicts, or the variety of conflicts (saving to deleted files are also conflicts - #20742). If continuing with the modal dialog UI this might look like counting the conflict varieties and providing a few example paths (character limited to avoid giant dialog).

We might also want to offer more resolution options:

  • Discard deleted files
  • Save everything but deleted files (keeping them)

The complex power tool version of this would be to show all conflicting buffers and allow the user to make decisions on a per-file basis.

This same logic should also be used for "Save all".
