It always reports in the end where it's stored, but from man:
TMPDIR Directory in which the work directory is created. If unset,
this defaults to /var/tmp.
${TMPDIR}/sysmerge.XXXXXXXXXX Default work directory. The temproot and
backup directories are created relative to
this.
So look in /var/tmp/sysmerge.SOMETHING
