I think this is a misunderstanding of what "Prefer repository" will do.
It will not (as you noticed) replace the file with the one in the
repository! It will only use the *conflicted part* of the file from the
repository.
So if in a thousand line file only two lines are in conflict, then only
those two lines will be replaced with the same lines from the repo file.
The rest of the file will stay as is, which is the local one.
If you resolve a conflict after the merge using "Resolve conflict with
'theirs'", then that function uses the complete repository file, not
just the conflicted parts.
