It does ask you, yes.

Well, you can do that. But it won't do anything: those conflicted files
are not in the working copy (yet) so they're temporary. You have to
click the "Resolved" button in the merge conflict dialog to mark those
as resolved.

"Resolve & save" - yes.
"Resolve & save as" - definitely not: when you "save as" you save the
file somewhere else, so it's not versioned there and therefore can not
be marked as conflicted.

I'll change the text of the save menu/button.
