You might want to restore them, you might want to double check some merge behavior, in any case it’s quite useful to be able to list all the files that have been deleted in your repository. Here’s how to go about it:
git log --diff-filter=D --summary
If you want to restore some of them see this.
If you don’t want all the information about which commit they were removed in, you can just add a grep delete in there.
git log --diff-filter=D --summary | grep delete
