Actually, FWIW, Perforce's "at", "am" etc. mean "accept Theirs", "Accept
Merged" etc. Their help text doesn't indicate there's an interactive way of
saying "accept all the rest as ..."; you have to stop and then run the
"resolve" subcommand with the appropriate command-line option like "-at".
Likewise, a Subversion user could/would break and re-run the merge/update
command with "--accept=theirs" or whatever, if we don't provide an interactive
"all the rest" command. (Assuming that break-and-re-start works safely...?)
(I'm not implying any opinion on the desirability of "all the rest" commands.)
