I'm using BC2, and AFAIK, BC2 cannot use the intermediate files.
If you launch BC2 from TortoiseSVN, BC2 can only compare the previous
version to the current (uncommited) version of a file, it does not
handle the other files. In other words, you can use it for diffing and
simple merging, not for resolving conflicts as you can do with
TortoiseMerge.
As BC2 only supports 2-way merge, I don't think it can make use of the
other files, but I don't think I have explored all the BC2 features.
Cheers,
Manu
