It has to be a Subversion conflict. The Synchronize view conflicts just
mean you have both a local (outgoing) and repository (incoming) change to
the same resource. However, it is still possible, even likely, that a
Subversion update will auto-merge the changes, It is only when Subversion
cannot auto-merge the changes, and thus produces a local Subversion
conflict, that you can do Edit Conflicts.

You could also get Subversion conflicts by running the Team -> Merge
command.

See:

I do not know if we could realistically integrate a 3rd party tool into
those other areas that bring up editors. Often, the inputs to that
process are not local files. Those editors are operating on streams that
we provide. We would have to enhance our process to download and create
the files in some local temp area in order to be able to provide them to
the editors.

The Edit Conflicts action can use an external editor because Subversion
has produced local copies of all of the files involved in the conflict, as
is explained in the above link.
