Visual studio thinks files are checked in when they aren't

Question

I just had Visual Studio fail on a commit due to a merge conflict and when I was done I had about 10 files that it thought were checked in that in reality never made it to TFS.

I ended up having to compare every file I might have changed and adding a single space to the ones I did... quite tedious. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to tell which files have been changed in this situation?

Visual Studio will recheck all files when you change from offline mode to online.

If you don't mind losing the changes, you can also just re-checkout everything with the option to overwrite files enabled.
