why not merge them and find that way if they have conflicts that are left
unresolved, or are you also interested in conflicts that were solved by the
merge?

if you only care about the unresolved conflicts then (unless this broke
recently with ort) the following (untested) should work:

  $ git switch target
  $ git merge topic && echo "SHIP IT!" || git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD

obviously will need to be changed if you want to merge more than two branches
but the principle is tme same.
