Not sure what you mean here. No matter what you merge, there's always
the *local* file (the one where you merge to, your target working copy)
and the *repository* file. When you merge two urls, the repository file
is already a merged one (merged with the changes from your two urls).

That conflict resolution dialog only gives you the option of using
either your local file, or the one that would get applied if your local
file didn't have any modifications already (those local modifications
could be because *you* modified it, or because the merge you're doing
already merged some parts into it).

Or you can manually resolve the conflict, then save the resolved file in
TortoiseMerge and click on "resolved".
btw: you can click on "Edit Conflict" and later still choose "local" or
"repository" file if you like. That's up to you.

The merge mode is necessary because there is a conflict.
