No, it is just a difference in how the conflict editor works. The
editor comes from Eclipse in this case by the way, not Subclipse. I
believe the changes going the other way are already in the file, so
you do not need to do anything. Of course, both Tortoise and Eclipse
work the same in that there is only one file being updated. When
Tortoise finds a conflict, it lets you pick which version you want.
When Eclipse finds a conflict, "your" version is already picked and
you can replace it with the other version. The Eclipse editor is also
an "editor" so you can also type and fix code during this process.

Finally, the Subclipse preferences allow you to use TortoiseMerge, or
any other external tool to do this.
